On November 28th and 29th, a crew from FireOne, a fire testing company located in Drexel Hill, PA, came to the Banksville fire station to perform the annual hose and pump testing. Throughout both days, the station parking lot was a busy place with apparatus moving between pump tests and hose tests and tankers hauling water to supply both operations. Thank you to the FireOne crew for a tough job well done.
