Shuttling water to the front lines

| | Comments (0)

A Fresno fire engine is parked at the north shore launching facility, acting as the first step in a "water shuttle
operation."
They run a hose into Big Bear Lake and are able to fill water tenders as they roll through.
The water tenders then deliver the water to engines that are on the front lines.
"It's a lot faster than the water tenders could do themselves and it's a benefit to the city by not taxing the
water system," said Fresno Firefighter Dustin Simmons.
