For training this week your Chalybeate Volunteers completed a detailed check-off of Engine 801 after recently returning to service.
This includes running power equipment such as saws, fans and generators, operating the pump, testing our SCBAs and inspecting hand tools to ensure proper operation of all equipment.
Engine 801 is our primary engine and it responds to all structure fires that we are called to.
It carries:
1,000 gallons of water
1,000 feet of large diameter supply hose
500 feet of attack hose
4 Scott SCBAs
An assortment of hand tools such as axes and pike poles
Extension, Roof and Attic ladders

As well as other equipment!
