The Cherryvale Fire Department thoroughly pressure-checks every hose to make sure they are up to par for the coming winter season. The department goes through the procedure every other year, unrolling, filling and testing, re-rolling and re-storing more than 10,000 feet of fire house in the process. Each truck holds from 2,000-3,000 feet of hose. That’s approximately a half-mile. The men shown here are (from left) Andrew Smedley, Stan Gregory, Jesse Reed, Mike Dressel, Aaron Cook and Trent King. They did the testing along Clark Street, adjacent to Logan Park on Monday. Photo by Donna Celaya.
