10/6/13 - Charlotte tanker shuttle exercise

The Charlotte Fire Department conducted a tanker shuttle exercise on Sunday morning, October 6, 2013. Apparatus participated in a timed tank dump prior to moving to another location to begin the exercise. Apparatus from the Bellevue, Charlotte, Eaton Rapids, Eaton Rapids Township, Olivet, Potterville-Benton Township and Vermontville fire departments shuttled water from two tanker fill sites to keep Charlotte's Telesqurt supplied with an uninterrupted water supply. One of the fill sites suffered a hydrant malfunction but relocated to another hydrant with no delay in supplying the tankers.
