First fire truck shows up. For some reason, I think that is enough. But soon I find out it is not. Our town and all the small towns and districts around send fire fighters and trucks. We have 7 just in the 2 driveways, and they also lined the road along the side of the house. A bit frightening in fact, as if they knew something I did not. But really, it was just a wonderfully organized training session. Since this is a rural fire district, and one department may need another department to help them out on a big call, it is useful to have everyone train together so everyone is on the same page. And organized and orderly it went.

Filling the water tank in preparation

Tankers dump water in these storage tanks, and then run back and forth bringing more water as needed.
