Thank you to everyone who joined us for the latest Darley Pump Academy, May 5-7, at our Chippewa Falls location. This Pump Academy had 16 participants from all over the US, Canada, South Africa, & Australia. We appreciate everyone spending three days with Team Darley sharpening your pump knowledge and skills. 🔧 Pump Academy is built around hands-on learning. Participants don’t just watch or listen, they work directly with real pumps and real tools, gaining practical experience in maintenance, service, and repair. Small class sizes allow for focused instruction, questions in the moment, and learning that sticks because it’s done, not just discussed. From first-time attendees to seasoned technicians completing a refresh, the engagement and commitment from this group made the session a success. We’re proud to support firefighters and technicians with training designed for the realities of the job. 🚒 Our next Pump Academy is In October; seats fill up fast so get your registrations in! #DarleyPumpSchool #FirePumpTraining #OneTeamDarley #FirePumpExperts #HandsOnTraining
