03/08/21- Tonights bi-monthly drill focused on tanker shuttles and drafting. This type of water supply operation is not something we commonly use but it is a critical skill that we drill on to stay proficient. Twenty-one BFD firefighters were split into groups to rotate between tanker shuttles, pumping from a drop tank, and aerial ops. Thanks to BFD Photo Unit John Wilcher for his work capturing and producing this video. | Bedford Fire Department

👃🚒 How close would you nose it in? TWIN-TUBE DRAFTING with Andy Soccodato of The Water Thieves (Episode 5 of "Rural Water Supply") - By positioning the engine to use the front intake, you can start with just a 20-foot hard sleeve to get the water flowing.

🚒 Problem: Rural crews often drive past shallow creeks thinking, “Looks nice… but we can’t draft from that.” 💧 Solution: Deputy Chief Taylor Goodman (Powhatan County, VA) says it’s time to rethink that. “We have water all around us… Instead, by using our imagination and the hardware that we carry on our rigs… we can go in and actually harness that water to use for firefighting.” His favorite move? 🛠️ “Damming the creek and using that moving water that was so shallow it would’ve been otherwise
