Daretown, NJ — August 17 — Daretown Fire Company organized a practical water supply training session in Daretown, New Jersey, on August 17.The event gathered firefighters from Daretown Fire Company, Reliance Fire Company, and Auburn Volunteer Fire Company.

The participants engaged in setting up intake and discharge systems, practiced operating clapper valves, and trained on how to work together using 16-5 and 12-5 configurations.

The training emphasized water supply procedures and the efficient operation of multiple tenders.
