Control Burn - West Denneys Rd, Dover

Thursday, July 2, 2015

The DFD, with the help of the surrounding mutual aide Companies, performed the controlled burn of a circa 1800’s, Amish farm house. This provided a great training opportunity for all who participated. Crews were able to establish and maintain a water shuttle that provided the aerial (Ladder 2) with over 33,750 gallons of water, an uninterrupted flow of 750 gpm for 45 minutes. The water supply was 2 miles from the fire grounds. Many thanks go out to our neighboring Companies for taking the time to train with us. Units taking place in the drill: Camden-Wyoming VFC: E41-3 Cheswold VFC: E43-3 Little Creek VFC: E54-2 Marydel VFC: E56-2 Hartly VFC: Tanker 51, Ladder 51-7, Command 51 436th CES Fire Dept, Dover AFB: Tanker 58 Dover Fire Dept: E3, E-4, E6, E-7, Ladder 2, Rescue 1, Brush 9, Utility 1
