Volunteer Firefighters Practice Water Shuttles – Something That Saves You Money

August 28, 2018

Volunteer firefighters from four North Escambia fire stations practiced moving a lot of water quickly Monday night at the Walnut Hill Station of Escambia Rescue.

The firefighters from Century, McDavid, Molino and Walnut Hill learned about tanker truck and drop tank set up procedures…a process that is part of keeping fire insurance ratings and insurance costs lower for local residents.

Tanker trucks and a “drop tank” holding thousands of gallons  are used to shuttle and supply water to firefighters when there is no or an inadequate water supply from a nearby fire hydrant.
