Berkeley Heights Crews Trained for High-Volume Fires

Berkeley Heights, N.J. — August 19 — Moving massive amounts of water during fires involving large buildings or several structures was the topic of a drill conducted by the Berkeley Heights Fire Department. As the attack engine, Engine 4 ran water through a Blitz Fire monitor and a 1,500-GPM monitor. 200 feet of five-inch hose were laid from a hydrant by Engine 1, which served as the supply engine. Additionally, members experienced setting up a high-volume water supply using a portable manifold.
