Tonight members trained on hitting the hydrant, hose line advancement and management. These operations are very important on the fire ground. The most important operation is to secure a water supply. Without a secured water supply, interior firefighters could be left in a very dangerous situation. Interior firefighters practiced stretching 3 inch hose to connect to our blitz fire in an evolution as if a store front building would happen to catch fire. They also practiced pulling and flaking our 350' 2 inch attack line and the 200' 1 3/4 inch attack line.
