Tanker Operations Focus of Weekly Drill
Email Print RSS Facebook Twitter RSS

By Ex Chief Dean W. Pappas
March 9, 2020

Monday night's weekly training focused on Tanker operations, as two-thirds of the Katonah Fire District is located outside of working fire hydrants. Tanker 6 dropped its pond and siphoned water from it, sending the water through a five-inch supply line to Engine 116, which in turn supplied Engine 117's deck gun. The drill simulated a tanker shuttle evolution, where rotating tanker trucks would dump their water into Tanker 6's pond, thus keeping a steady supply of water for Tanker 6 to draw on,and then supply to the engines fighting the fire. The operation involves a lot of moving parts, coordinating the water supply with three different pieces of apparatus, and the drill provided some valuable training for the members.
