As the City of Stamford prepares for the winter months, the Stamford Fire Department on Monday evening commenced a water tanker drill to ensure fire water supply throughout the City of Stamford. The drill was held at the Scofield Magnet Middle School and was comprised of both career and volunteer units working together with Stamford’s Mutual Aid partners from adjoining municipalities. Fire Chief Trevor Roach tasked Assistant Chief Robert Morris and Assistant Chief Michael Robles to facilitate the operation. Fire Chief Roach stated, “The goal of the water tanker drill is to ensure a positive water supply using thousands of gallons of water provided by fire department water tankers from within the City and from adjoining municipalities to facilitate appropriate fire suppression to all areas of the City.” The Stamford Fire Department has been touted by the State for exceptional water tanker operations and protocols.
