Tanker Operations Training
On Monday, Nov. 10,
2008 - Hecktown Vol. Fire Co. invited East Allen Twp., Bushkill
Twp., Hanover Twp., Palmer Twp., and Upper Nazareth Twp. Fire Companies to
Dutch Springs for a tanker/rural water supply drill. Engine/Rescue
5312 drafted from a dry-hydrant to fill tankers. Engine 4611 drafted
from two portable ponds and supplied Ladder 2721. Five tankers
shuttled water from fill to dump sites. Several good lessons on moving
volumes of water were learned by participants. In addition good data
was obtained on fill and dump times of the various units. The officers
and members of East Allen Twp. Fire Dept. enjoyed the training activity and
appreciate the opportunity to work with several other departments. A
special thanks to Hecktown VFC.
