CLASS DESCRIPTION:
Rural water supply operations are some of the most important and challenging tasks performed on the fireground. When hydrants are limited or nonexistent, the ability to establish, sustain, and manage a dependable water supply becomes critical to fireground success.
This hands-on training is designed to provide firefighters with practical, real-world experience in the core components of rural water movement and shuttle operations.
​
Participants will gain practical experience in:
-
Drafting from ponds, tanks, and other static water sources
-
Setting up and operating dump sites and portable tanks
-
Establishing efficient fill sites
-
Tanker shuttle operations and water movement strategies
-
Fire flow calculations and water supply management
-
Apparatus placement, coordination, and troubleshooting under real-world conditions
​
This class is designed for volunteer firefighters of all experience levels and will focus on practical hands-on application, teamwork, and improving confidence in rural water supply operations - and can be directly applied to your department’s fireground operations.​
