Waterville & District Volunteer Fire Department, Utility #14, pump and rolling at a field fire this evening in Somerset.
Pump and roll, is a technique used to fight wildfires, grass and field fires.
While most traditional fire trucks have to be stationary in order to pump water, pump and roll capable fire trucks are able to drive while flowing water.
This can help to effectively assist in suppression efforts, especially over large areas, reducing the need to deploy hose.
