On Monday Night, units 3911, 3919, 3910, and 3998 trained on Ladder Operations using 3919.

Unit 3911 set up at a hydrant and pumped water utilizing 5” LDH to unit 3919.

The main objective was focusing on pumping water within 3919 to the tower and the operation of the tower from top platform & with the wireless handheld controls.

Firefighters also conditioned themselves by climbing the 78’ ladder and locking in. Once positioned at the top firefighters practiced using the communication device as well as operating the nozzle from the tip controls.

Last Monday Night we trained on Drafting with the added technique of a jet siphon.

Jet siphoning is a vital water supply tool used primarily in rural fire fighting situations where we need a large water supply. It’s used to quickly shuttle water from one dump tank to the next.

3912 was deployed to draft and send water to 3919. 3912 pushed water though an 1-3/4” line into the second dump tank to create the jet siphon to the tank we were drafting out of.

Additional crews trained on running & pumping 3919 with ladder operations.

Last night, we trained with Fire Extinguishers. This is a yearly OSHA requirement training. When using a Fire Extinguisher remember the P.A.S.S system.
Pull
Aim
Squeeze
Sweep

It is also important to know and use the correct extinguisher for the job

Type A - Ordinary Combustibles (Wood,paper,cloth,trash,plastics)
Type B - Flammable Liquids
Type C - Electrical Equipment
Type D - Combustible Metals
Type K - Cooking Oils & Fats

Most households will carry ABC Fire Extinguishers which is a multi-purpose tool filled with monoammonium phosphate dry chem. It safely puts out the three common types of household & workplace fires.

Below are some photos from last nights training.

TRAINING UPDATES:

We apologize for not posting much lately. We’ve taken a few weeks to catch our New Probationary Members up with SCBA’s, Donning & Doffing Gear two of them started BOFF Fighterfighter I/II class.

Last week we installed iPads & did NERIS Report Training.

On Monday Night we competed in our 2026 Pumper Wars. Sometimes training can still be fun and competitive. We set 3911 & 3912 up at the dump tank. This tests our efficiency & speed. Getting the truck into pump gear, pulling a draft & then sending to the hand line. First one who gets water gets the other guy on the end of their hose line wet. It was a great training that ended with our new guys practicing drafting to empty the tank.
