Weekly Drill: No. 79 - Cellar Pipes

Drill #79: Cellar Pipes

Readers will learn about cellar pipes (also known as distributors) and how thay can get water on the fire in cases that are too dangerous or impossible for firefighters to reach.

The drill is designed to be a single page of information to conjure up discussions among your crew members. Sit down and talk about the exercises, and how they may apply to your company. But, just don't read them. Get moving. Head to an appropriate area and train.

Post the information in prominent places in your stations so it's readily available for review.

Please remember to check your Standard Operating Procedures or Guidelines (SOPs/SOGs) before using the drill.
