Salisbury Fire Department Explorer Post #74 Tests Fire Hoses at Andover Fire Station

By Charlie Darling
The Salisbury Fire Department’s Explorer Post #74 spent most of Saturday, September 26, at the Andover Fire Station pressure-testing about 4,000 feet of Andover’s fire hoses. It’s a process that has to be tackled every couple of years, involving hours and hours of unrolling and rolling up hose, making and breaking connections, tending to pressure pumps, and much more. Pictured are Mike Miller, Nick Lingner, Brenden Miller, Post advisor Jeff Miller, Olivia Anderson, Post advisor Diana Miller, and Rachel Lake.
