Staff of the Chester Township Fire Department received training on drafting at the Caesar Creek State Park.

Drafting is where Engines, Tankers or Tenders pump water from a pond, lake, pool or other static water source.

Training in drafting is VITAL for rural departments as we do not have pressurized hydrants like big cities do.   When there is a fire, rural departments have to draft and transport thousands of gallons of water to the scene of a fire.

Despite all of our hard work that day... We did find time to "dunk" the new guy (Justin) as part of his initiation into the department.
