Crew hit the street last night in Snozzle8 and conducted training on sprinkler control methods, Snozzle boom operation, standpipe kit, and tested a section of hose that was recently repaired. The crew ran a box in Holmes also and finished the night with some water ice-! The crew honed in on our standpipe kit and inventory and how we would control an activated sprinkler head. Our team made a prop for same and use the Snozzle boom, a great summer time drill and fantastic practice for a little used skill but an important one for sure. A great time was had by all.💧💦🚒👨🏻🚒8️⃣💪🏼
