Pump and Hose Line Training
 
By Fire Chief Adam Grossman
March 27, 2017
 

On Monday March 27th, 2017 at 1900 the Sadsburyville volunteers began their weekly training session. This came after the Fire Police Swear In Ceremony held at our Station at 1830.

Several firefighters are currently in training to drive and operate Engine 31-1 and Engine 31-2. Currently Firefighter Senter is also in the Pumper Driver/Operator course at Chester County to become proficient in pumping and operating. During tonight's drill, Firefighter Rust is continuing his pump training on Engine 31-1 to be a qualified driver.

Firefighters went through numerous evolutions to perfect the skill of operating fire engines and managing hose lines. At one point three hose lines were in servicing flowing over 525 gallons per minute, something that could happen at a standard house fire.

All of our personnel are volunteers and we are always looking for more. If you are interested in joining contact us or visit helpfightfire.com.
