5-Inch LDH: From Clinton to the Eastern Shore 🚒🤝 Firefighting doesn't stop at the county line

With PGFD transitioning to a 4-inch hose standard, Clinton VFD recently had the opportunity to re-home 1,800 feet of 5-inch Large Diameter Hose (LDH) and adapters to our partners on the Eastern Shore.

This high-quality gear has officially been placed back into front-line service with the Grasonville Volunteer Fire Department and Denton Volunteer Fire Company.

While our operations are moving toward 4-inch, 5-inch remains the heavy-hitter for the rural water-shuttle and tanker operations that the Grasonville and Denton crews coordinate.

Where it’s going:
🚒 Grasonville VFD: 1,300 feet of LDH to fully outfit a piece of apparatus.
🚒 Denton VFD: 500 feet and adapters to bolster their tanker supply setups.

It’s great to see this equipment staying in the fight and supporting the teams across the Bay. If you want to see these departments putting it to work, check them out:
