Orono Fire Department Tests New Equipment
The Orono Fire Brigade tested new gear during Monday’s practice adding 200 feet of 1 1/2 inch hose and two fog nozzles. The lighter hose proved easier to handle with one man per hose, enabling two water streams from one side of the pump and potential three-hose runs. Inspectors found most village water tanks full except for one at Mrs Winter’s, which showed a four-inch drop and may need repair.
