Nashua, NH - Nashua Fire Rescue conducted a focused pump operations training evolution on Crown Street in Nashua, Hillsborough County, with Engine 2, Engine 4, and Ladder 2 participating in hands-on water supply drills.

The exercise centered on relay pumping operations, a critical fireground skill used when incident locations are positioned far from a reliable hydrant or static water source. Crews established an initial water supply and coordinated a continuous transfer of water through multiple engines, with each aparatus boosting pressure to maintain steady flow across extended distances.

On 18 August, Engine companies worked in sequence to simulate real-world deployment conditions, focusing on hose management, pump panel coordination, and maintaining consistent pressure throughout the relay system. Communication between operators was emphasized to ensure smooth transitions and uninterrupted water delivery.

Ladder 2 supported the evolution by assisting with operational oversight and coordination while crews rotated through pumping assignments. The training reinforced teamwork, effic
