Rural firefighting

    Win-Bur-Sew’s day crews were training on rural water set up and drafting recently. Homes and properties outside the village do not have hydrants to supply the water, Win-Bur-Sew has two tenders that bring the water to the fire. Both of Win-Bur-Sew’s tenders hold 3,000 gallons of water. Along with the tenders both of Win-Bur-Sew’s fire engines have 1,000 gallons of water to bring to the fight as well! This setup the crews were training on this week is very standard in rural communities. During a big call or “fire” you will see many neighboring departments assisting with more equipment like tenders and engines. Thank you to the day crews for putting in good work and keeping up with the skills! When the alarm sounds, every second matters!
