Monday night's drill focused on initial training for our two newest intern/probies, Aiden Gerhart and Antony Argulles. The subject of this exercise was hydrant operations, starting from the ground up, literally. The two interns learned about how the water gets to the hydrant, how to get it out of the hydrant and how to move it to a point where it will be of use. This included opening and closing the hydrant, contents of the hydrant bag, the 4-way hydrant valve, 5" supply line, and Stortz connections among other things.
