In this video clip we examine the use of Tanker 14's new Fireman's Friend direct fill valve. The clip shows the tanker arriving at a fire hydrant with no other FD resources present. The driver connects to the fire hydrant and fills the tanker using the new direct fill connection.
Ideally - we want to expand this fill site with a pumper and crew so that the tanker driver does not have to exit the tanker. However, additional resources may not arrive in time to assist with obtaining that first load of water.
