Department Hosts Mutual Aid Tanker Shuttle Drill

By 1st Assistant Chief
August 27, 2024

Last night, the Department hosted its annual mutual aid tanker shuttle drill with the assistance of our neighbors including the Croton Falls Fire Department, the Vista Fire Department, the Ridgefield Fire Department, the Goldens Bridge Fire Department and the Pound Ridge Fire Department.

The objective of this training is to not only demonstrate the importance of this skill, which is essential to rural water supply operations, but also to maintain great working relationships with our neighboring Departments.

Since there are no traditional fire hydrants within the South Salem Fire District and within many of our neighboring Districts, all water used for fire suppression must come from our tanker trucks which are supplied with water from our ponds, lakes and other waterways.

The evening culminated with a dinner back at the firehouse. The Department would like to extend a special thanks to all our neighboring Departments that assisted with this training as well as the Truesdale Estates Association and the Town of Lewisboro Parks and Recreation Department.

Units: Engine 167, Tanker 2, Rescue 21, Utility 79, Cars 2451, 2452, 2453 and 2454
 
Mutual Aid: Croton Falls Tanker 8, Tanker 88, Car 2072 and Car 2073, Ridgefield Tanker 4 and Car 4, Goldens Bridge Tanker 1 and Car 2140, Pound Ridge Tanker 3 and Engine 112, Vista Tanker 4, Engine 141 and Car 2561 and Westchester DES Battalion 13
