But what happens when the water source is far away from the flames? Relay pumping is the answer. #westmetrofirerescue | West Metro Fire Rescue | Facebook

Our Company 2 this morning, practicing relay pumping. In this case, Engine 2 is connected to a hydrant, with a 5" line connecting the engine to Tower 2. This method allows firefighters to maintain water pressure when moving water a long distance from a hydrant or other source. | West Metro Fire Rescue
