Drafting training this morning.
Every month except June we meet at least once a month to train on firefighting and/or EMS topics.
In firefighting, drafting is the process of using a fire engine’s pump to draw water up from a static, unpressurized source—such as a pond, lake, river, or portable tank—when standard fire hydrants are not available or do not work. This is the case in the country where there are no hydrants.

The Eldon Review, July 3, 1896. THE ELDON FIRE DEPARTMENT.
Eldon has an excellent and finely equipped volunteer Fire Department. It was organized November 3, 1893, and consists of Hose Carts Nos. 1 and 2, with about a thousand feet of Hose, a Chemical Wagon, and Hook & Ladder Trucks. All the apparatus for fighting fire is first class. Dr. S. H. Sawyers was chief for the first two years after its organization, and filled the position most acceptably. W. P. Kremer is the present chief and is a good one.
The fire department had charge of Eldon's 4th of July celebrations last year. It was a grand success. This year they will again have control and it is hoped they will net another nice sum. Our citizens should subscribe liberally to the 4th of July fund.
