Members of the Ancram Fire Company tested and attempted to use a dry hydrant on East Ancram Road Tuesday night. Dry hydrants are a water source for rural fire companies that are not pressurized like your typical hydrants. Cleaning, maintaining are essential for when an emergency necessitates the need for a water source to be established.
