Water Holes
A hydrant next to the pond- there is a sign on the hydrant that says it's for training. If the sign came off or at night it may be mistaken as a working hydrant to an out of town engine company.
See the red dry hydrant in the background.
A good pond to get water from until someone working at the pond put a rock in the way and blocked the access to it. The sign in the background says boat launch.
Two dry hydrants at this pond, can't see the pond and can't see the pipes for the hydrant. Need a bright color or a weed wacker.
A good water hole- a nice 8" pipe that's goes to a 6" female thread. The downfall is it may be too high if it is higher than the pump intake, you will have a hard time getting a draft.
What is wrong with these pictures?
A dry hydrant that you would have a hard time to get to with the trees and fence in front of it.
I like the sign next to the dry hydrant beware of the dog- is that for the firemen? May be hard to test yearly.
A good water hole to hit. This water is free. The water behind the gate is not. But it's the same water hole.
There are two of these next to the bridge, one across from each other- but the 45 degree angle off the pipe makes for a hard hook up and the river is so low its not in the water.

156 Bedlam Road barn fire
North Windham started to Chaplin on Bedlam Rd for a barn fire. Engine and Engine Tanker were on scene in 4-5 min and went to work. North Windham had 10 firefighters working.
Firefighters from North Windham working to vent the roof of the barn.
The barn had a wood stove in it that may have started the fire. The barn was part of a honey bee "farm". One of the hazards that the fire dept ran into was the barn had solar panels on the
roof.
