FIRE PREVENTION WEEK!

Last night the members of the CFD came together to fill all of the goodie bags for this year's fire prevention week. The CFD has been traveling to the Fletcher and Cambridge Elementary Schools for years to help teach kids and adults alike about being safe!

8/23/18 Pump Training

On 8/23/18 our department returned to the Brewster River to continue honing our skills with pumps. Tonight's drill allowed some of our newer members the chance to operate our tanker       ( 22-T1) and practice deploying the 3,000 gallon portable pond, fill, and leave to refill at the water supply. The 4 portable pumps feeding the supply engine were supplying a little over 1250 GPM, which was then sending pressurized water to the attack engine down the road. We rounded out the evening with repacking our attack lines and placing the apparatus back into service. 

    8/16/18 Pump Training

    On Thursday 8/16/18, members of the CFD continued their education with a night of pump training. We spend a large amount of time per year training with our truck-mounted and portable pumps. Tonight we supplied water to our water supply pumper via 4 portable pumps, each averaging 250 gallons per minute. We then supplied water to our attack engine via large diameter hose (LDH) into a 3,000 gallon portable pond and then discharged via deck gun, 1 3/4" attack line, and Blitzfire. Each member was able to take part in each evolution including operating both engine pumps
