Lowell Fire Training on the Merrimack
Members of the Lowell fire department did some training on the Merrimack.
Companies brought both the boat out, the larger unit stationed at Engine 10’s quarters primarily used on the Merrimack and the small soft sided unit from Moody Street station used throughout the city.
Firefighters were shown how to back the boats down the boat ramp launch it. They were shown how to start and operate the boats motors as they were launching the boat near shore. They it was out for a little fun opening the engines up and going for a cruise up the river; but not without a paddle!
Members were also shown the uses of water suite and flotation
