Hudson, NH - Hudson N.H. Fire Department crews conducted hands-on training focused on pumping evolutions with Tanker 1, strengthening operations in areas without hydrant access.
The evolution covered deploying and setting up the 2,500-gallon porta tank, coordinating water shuttle operations, drafting from the tank, and supplying multiple handlines. Crews emphasized efficiency, communication, and maintaining a continuous water supply under simulated rural fireground conditions.
Training like this ensures firefighters are prepared to deliver reliable water supply in challenging environments where hydrants are unavailable.
