The Cumru Township Fire Department recently hosted a State Fire Academy Pump Course through the Bucks County Community College. The lead instructor for the course was Scot Landis. The 16-hour program provides students an introduction to pumping fire apparatus. Students rotated through several skill stations that included drafting, relay pumping, hydrant supply, and flowing attack lines. Students are able to take the information back to their companies and begin practicing with their own apparatus.
