In the middle of a heat wave, a woman firefighter fills her swimming pool with a fire truck

A female firefighter has been suspended by her superiors. She is suspected of having filled her swimming pool with a barracks van in the midst of a drought. Filling your pool in the middle of a heat wave is prohibited. When you’re a firefighter and you use a fire station truck connected to a fire hydrant, it’s just as much! This is the unusual story told by the daily Le Courrier de l’Ouest. The facts occurred in Niort in the Deux-Sèvres in August when the department was the subject of a prefectural decree for the restriction of the use of water. This head sergeant, a volunteer firefighter, would have taken advantage of a training maneuver to connect a barracks van to a fire hydrant and thus fill up a large capacity tank (4000 litres). The opportunity to then go fill his swimming pool which had just been built at his home! The leaders of the SDIS of Deux-Sèvres learned with amazement of the facts which they consider “intolerable” and going against the values ​​of probity and exemplarity which the firefighters must embody. They announced that sanctions would be taken. An internal procedure is in progress.
