Don't start the engines till the coms are done, crew gear up whilst coms are coming thru. Doors get opened, engines get started and away we go. Interesting training last nite, picked up a few small points for the crew to work with. One of the crew had turned the motor off on our first response vehicle to save fuel, but with all the lights running it didn't take long before it was flat, Using a delivery hose as a suction hose, oh well might as well do a tandem pump exercise, and one of the suction lines had sand jamming the valve so it wouldn't work, one of the Wayjax pumps decided to play up. Luckily the operator is a mechanic and could fix on the spot. Guess that's why we practice. A good nite and a good turnout.
