When hydrants aren’t available, firefighters find other means.

Coolspring and Center Township volunteer firefighters filled a dump tank with water and pumped it up a 400-foot driveway to another pumper to fight a garage fire on Goldring Road Saturday night, Jan. 17, 2015.

Unfortunately, the structure was already engulfed when units arrived shortly after 8 p.m. No injuries were reported.
