For the next month or so, your Portsmouth Township Fire Fighters will be out checking, clearing, and exercising fire hydrants in preparation for the coming fall and winter months. During the year, if you have a hydrant in your yard and if you are able to, please keep it clear of brush, weeds, and snow. In an emergency, every second counts! If we have to clear a hydrant before we can use it for a fire or can't find it because it is covered, precious time is lost….
Thank you for your help in keeping everyone safe!

This months training we trained with our friends at Hampton Township Public Safety and Essexville Department of Public Safety. The focus was pump operations, water streams and hose advancement. To exercise these activities we utilized a game called "water ball". Each team sprays water from their fire nozzle to force the ball / barrel across the opposing team's marker or goal line. Teams must control the heavy, bucking hose using teamwork and leverage while keeping their streams focused on the target. It improves hose advancement, communication, stance, and fluid nozzle handling under pressure. Nobody said that training had to be boring.
