Harvard, MA — April 12th — As the weather improves, training on drafting operations and the use of dry hydrants was held by the Department of Harvard Fire-EMS, located at 13 Ayer Road, Harvard, MA, United States, 01451. In order to develop their abilities to establish a water supply from static sources, a number of new recruits took part in practical exercises. In order to operate in non-hydrant locations, crews trained attaching hard suction, maintaining prime, and putting up portable pumps.
In rural situations, dry hydrants—which are frequently placed at ponds or other comparable locations—offer dependable access for engines and tankers. This kind of training helps efficient suppression of structure and brush fires and adheres to normal fire department procedures. Regular drills assist guarantee operational readiness, according to officials.
