Chief Ken Roberts was our LSU fire pump instructor |

All members had hands-on experience operating the pump on 915 |

Chief Roberts brought a cut-away of a fire engine pump for all of us to observe. |

The next day we went to the Port for more hands-on work. Engine 914 is positioning to lay hose for relay pumping exercise |

We had Engines 512, 914, and 513 relay pumping and all members were able to operate the pump panel of each Engine |
|

Engine 513 had the lowest rated pump capacity so it was at the end of the pumping relay. |

After finishing relay pumping a portable tank was setup and we had a class on how to use the primer to suction water into the pump |
