More than 75% of our primary response area does not have fire hydrants. Stillwater Fire Engineers and Firefighters conducted a water supply operations exercise simulating a response to an area without fire hydrants.

Structure fires in these locations require water to be transported to the emergency scene. This situation often involves water tenders (tankers), portable drop tanks, and drafting.

Drafting is a crucial firefighting technique used when access to fire hydrants is limited or unavailable - especially in rural areas. Firefighters use large, hard suction hoses and a water pump to draw water from a dump tank under negative pressure (to generate a vacuum) to the fire engine.

It is always essential to establish a secure, efficient water supply and deliver water to the fire attack crew, regardless of whether hydrants are available nearby.

Nearly a dozen men and women attended our paid-on-call informational meeting to learn more about our fire, rescue, and medical services as well as our hybrid staffing model, which includes both full-time career firefighters who staff the department 24/7/365 and part-time, paid-on-call firefighters who are paged for additional resources and station coverage.

Next week, these applicants are invited to take the firefighter aptitude and character test. Those who score 70 percent or higher will move on to an interview with department leadership and staff.

Stillwater, Minnesota - On Thursday, May 14, 2026, at approximately 6:45 p.m., the Stillwater Fire Department responded to a house fire on the 10000 block of 60th Street North in Grant, Minnesota.
