This article is a direct street report from our correspondent and has not been edited by the 1st Responder newsroom.

Westville, NJ - Westville Fire Department conducted a drill night focused on high-volume water supply and hose deployment operations on Ryan Avenue.


Members practiced deploying and operating multiple suppression lines, with emphasis on efficient hose management and coordinated attack strategies. The training also included driver/operator qualification work as part of the department’s pump operations program.


Engine 733 established a hydrant supply feeding two 4-inch supply lines to Rescue 738. Rescue 738 deployed approximately 1,000 feet of 4-inch hose from its hose bed and operated multiple handlines along with a blitz fire line, simulating a high-demand fireground water supply scenario.
