What better way to practice our skills and cool down than spraying water around on a 90+ degree night.

Tonight for training our volunteers used a pumper to supply our TAC truck which pumped to a Blitz nozzle. The engine was supplied by a hydrant.

Our driver trainee on the TAC learned valuable lessons on water relaying and pumping.

Our fire police keep us safe from traffic while practicing behind the Trappe Shopping Center.
