Completes Rural Water Movement Course
On Oct. 12th,
members from Station 63 along with other companies from the area
completed this 16 hour course sponsored by the PA State Fire Academy
and Bucks County Community College and held at the Factoryville Fire
Co. with the exception being the tanker shuttle which was held in
Fleetville due to the proximity to the Lackawanna State Park. Crews
spent the morning doing dump and fill tests on all of the tankers and
then the afternoon performing the actual tanker shuttle itself. Over
a period of 2 hours crews managed to flow an average of just over
1,000 gallons of water per minute. Crews shuttled from a fill site at
the Lackawanna State Park to Station 63, which is exactly a two mile
run. Engine 9 (Factoryville) set up the fill site at the lake while
Engine 63 set up the fill outside of the fire station and supplied
water to Engine 4 (Clarks Summit). Overall the course went very well
and everyone involved learned something new.
Apparatus on-hand: E-63, T-63,
E-9, T-9, S-9, E-4, T-2, T-60, HBT-3, 52T-2
