On April 30, members of the City of Lambertville Fire District #1 third shift trained in drafting operations and area familiarization.
Crews utilized a 15-foot suction pipe to suck water and return it to the canal from Engine 17, which was situated close to Coryell Street above the abandoned train tracks. A familiarization with the layout of the former Finkels property was another aspect of the course.
In order to stay informed about neighborhood developments, participants viewed additional neighboring buildings and undertook a walkthrough of a nearby new construction site after the drill.
