Charlotte Fire and Rescue crew receives training on new fire truck

Charlotte Fire and Rescue

Firefighters attended class and hands-on instruction for the compressed air foam system (CAFS) featured on the station’s new fire truck. That system injects air into the foam and water, allowing for a longer water supply and water delivery rate. Lou DeRosa of Waterous Pumps led the class on Oct. 20 along with 12 of CVFRS crew.
