On February 18 West Mead #1 practiced setting up winter water supplies. 28-11 and 28-12 deployed to Phelps Road to establish water supply. Several holes were opened in the pond ice using auger, chainsaw, pike pole, and axes. Water was drawn by two 500gpm portable pumps through two 4″ hard suction lines, flowed to 28-11 through a 2 1/2″ line, and returned to the pond with a blitzfire on another 2 1/2″ line.

28-13 and 28-14 were employed in driver training for newer members.

Members plan to train on February 25 for ice rescue with several other mutual aid departments.
