here that not needed the volunteer fire department just pulls in sticks there 10 suction pipe in the pond and suck it out, they do have a 3 phase 550 volt pump house in the river a mile away from the station, that way they can get water on the way back in the winter when theres 4 feet plus of ice over the river. a 10" pipe is plumbed right into the bottom of the river, when they need water from our ponds or any of the many lakes and rivers all around. they drill a hole and drop a 8" steel L pipe in to hook on to
