Members of the Mineola Junior Fire Department recently held a training in engine and hose operations. Engine company apparatus and equipment are designed to allow firefighters to function effectively and quickly.
The juniors learn that engine company personnel must acquire knowledge, skill and judgment in performing the basic operations of engine companies such as hose line stretching. It provides for teamwork, familiarization with hose line and nozzle reaction, which is very important to an engine member.
