Fire Fighting Pump Demonstration and Annual JLDI Meeting

Following the destructive fire the Johnson Lake Development Inc. started working with the Lexington, Elwood, Cozad, and Eustis fire departments on what could done to improve their capabilities to fight fires at the lake. Their main need was the ability to quickly fill the pumper trucks here at the lake. The JLDI group identified a small pumping system that could be dropped into the lake at any location and be used to fill the pumper trucks. The CNPPID agreed to purchase four of the pumps and one has been donated to each of the four fire departments.

The pumps will be demonstrated to the public at the inlet boat ramp on June 16^th at 6 PM; which will then be followed by the Annual JLDI meeting at 7:00 PM at the EMS Bldg. Everyone is invited to attend both activities!! This will also be an opportunity for the local community to thank the fire departments for their commitment to fire suppression at the lake.
