ANNISTON ARMY DEPOT, Ala. -- The depot's Fire and Emergency Services Division and the Oxford Fire Department conducted training with pumper and tanker operations Jan. 30.
"It is a mutual benefit for both fire departments to train together," said ANAD assistant fire chief Lee Batey. "It allows each fire department to understand the capabilities of each other."
During the training, ANAD personnel set up a drop tank, filled it with 3,000 gallons of water and allowed Oxford firefighters to draft from it using low level strainers.
The training also included properly filling a water tanker from a hydrant and which selection of hose best fits those needs.
