That’s whole lot of fire hose spaghetti for one hydrant!

If you ever wonder why firefighters get a bit upset when you block a hydrant, just look at how much space that 5” hose spaghetti needs when using a Hydrassist to boost pressure. Sometimes there is only a low water pressure available at a particular hydrant or it is far away from the fire scene. Then it is good to be able to use the hydrassist to boost the water pressure. It works by sending water directly to the “fire” or engine through the middle hose. A second engine arrives and connects one hose to one end to get water from the hydrant to put in the engine, where the engine can increase the water pressure before sending it back into the other side of the hydrassist to boost the pressure of the water being sent to the hose going to the”fire”. Bit confusing but really good to be able to do. So please think about how much space the hose spaghetti in these pictures needs before you park next to a hydrant. And if you see us training around town, please stop by to find out what we are doing.

1953 - 2014 and still a dizzying number of levers to pull and gages to keep an eye on !!

One is the pump panel on the 1953 Ward LaFrance tanker E4 that was in service until 1979 and the other pump panel is on our current 2014 Marion Engine, E1.
It shows you that back in the day the operator still had his hands full at the panel. At least today some of those are push button rather than hand cranked valves!
If you catch a ride on the old tanker with Oldfaithful don’t forget to check out the classic pump panel !

Double trouble !

Tonight’s drill focused on drafting water directly from a pond using two engines, both drafting and sending water to multiple lines. We used E2 to send water to two portable high volume blitz fire appliances and E1 using the build in deck gun and a 1 3/4 hose. This simulated having to drop hard suction hose into a pond or lake to get water for both engines at twilight and send large amount of water to extinguish a fire.
