East Haddam Fire Department hosted a tanker shuttle drill on July 21, 2015. This drill included support from the surrounding mutual aid towns of Haddam, East Hampton, Haddam Neck and Lyme, which committed a total of five engines, four tankers and one ladder truck.  Tankers shuttled water from the fill site on the Moodus Reservoir causeway to four drop tanks at the East Haddam Town Beach, where the water was pumped to the ladder pipe, deck gun and hand lines. In the event of a structure fire in a rural town where hydrants are scarce, firefighters would use a similar process to deliver water to the structure fire. (Photo by Olivia Drake)
