5 Minute drills

  • 121 Citizens Blvd 121 Citizens Blvd Simpsonville, KY, 40067 United States (map)

A 5-minute drill: arrive, secure, and flow. This drill tests the crew’s ability to pull up to a hydrant, establish a safe water supply, and be ready to operate in under five minutes. On arrival, driver/operator spots and parks for best access; crew deploys hose, charges lines, and connects the pump to the hydrant. Tasks include securing the apparatus, removing the hydrant cap, attaching the proper adapter or splitter, opening the hydrant fully, and checking for proper pressure and flow. Emphasis is on clear roles, efficient communication, equipment readiness, and safety checks. Regular practice sharpens speed and coordination so when every second counts, the team can deliver a reliable water supply quickly and safely.
