Deposit, NY - Deposit Fire Department firefighters conducted roll-up drills at their training facility, simulating fireground operations in areas inaccessible to larger apparatus.
Crews practiced coordinated water supply operations, with the Squad supplying the Midi-Pumper, which then deployed attack lines, ladders, and essential equipment.
A Pumper-Tanker supported the evolution by providing a sustained water source to the Squad.
The training highlighted the capabilities of the department’s Midi-Pumper, a specialized unit designed for restricted access incidents, equipped with a 1250 GPM pump, a 300-gallon tank, and a full complement of firefighting tools.
The drill reinforced teamwork and ensured readiness for challenging response environments.
