The end of April we had some water pump training. This is a great way of doing some hands on training instead of just reading how to connect the pumps from a book. We went to a small pond inlet close to the road to use as our water supply.
Here is some of the guys (and an explorer) hooking the hose to the pump on Engine 3. The water gets pumped into a tank in the engine and is sprayed out a hose on the top of the engine. 
Kendall showing the Exploreres how to operate this pump. They each had to take turns connecting it up then starting the engine. Starting the engine isn't easy. It was one that you had to pull a rope to start it.

I really loved this photo of both trucks spraying water at the same time. The truck closer normally has a hose attatched to where the water is coming out, but they just wanted to play with the bigger nozzle.
Everyone packing up to head home.
