Andover, NH — December 1 — Wilmot's fire officials reported a structure fire on Monday afternoon, prompting Andover Fire crews to rush to Wilmot for a mutual aid assignment. In order to support suppression efforts, Andover firemen had to create and maintain a dependable water supply as soon as they arrived. To guarantee a constant flow and minimize delays in getting water to the fire scene, the crew laid up water at two different places. In the region, mutual aid is a standard component of emergency response, assisting smaller departments in meeting operational requirements as situations worsen. Throughout the event, staff members collaborated effectively with Wilmot firefighters and stayed on the scene until things calmed down. The collaboration reaffirmed the two agencies' solid working relationship and the significance of coordinated water-supply planning.
