Hawk Point Fire Protection Dist.

Our Hawk Point team was joined by Northwest Fire Protection District for some forcible entry training. Our teams worked together to learn and refine techniques for entering structures through doors that are locked or barricaded, enabling our teams to get in and rescue our people and attack fires.

Cool stuff that allows us to be ready to fight the fires, wherever they occur: Drop Tanks

As much of our community and covered area is outside of areas serviced by hydrants, not to mention our neighboring fire districts that need help from time to time, our team recently spent time learning and training with drop tanks.

Drop Tanks are one way that our team can shuttle and deploy large amounts of water at a time. In this instance, 3000 gallons can be dropped into this pool, from which the fire apparatus can draw from. Then, tankers can shuttle from hydrants and other water sources, and constantly replenish the tank.
