On September 13, 2026, firefighters in Plainville, Massachusetts, participated in hands-on training that emphasized hydrant operations and correct techniques for moving and advancing hose lines.
The training provided the department’s call firefighters with a chance to practice two essential fireground skills: setting up a dependable water supply and positioning hose lines.
