Water Shuttle Exercise

April 23^rd - Chief 1710 (S.Pratt) and T1716 (Spencer) traveled to Shamong this evening to participate in Phase I of an ISO exercise. The communities in Southern Burlington County are working on a plan to reduce home insurance ratings. This requires all of the fire companies to provide written and visual documentation that our mobile water supply operation is as effective as an area that is protected by hydrants. Phase II of the exercise will be sometime in June.
