Tubes and Flues
On Tuesday, March 21, we held an orientation on tube and flue installation for our 557 Volunteers. There was a good turnout of three contractors and eight volunteers. Then the fun began. Terry Douglas provided some more photos of the progress at the end of Saturday. All of the tubes are in and have been rolled for the first time. Flue installation will begin shortly. |

| Each of the fire tubes is clearly marked with the Heat number and material spec from the date of manufacture. The tube length nominally is 162 inches and the actual length required can vary by fractions of an inch depending on their location. The yellow markings 3/8 just indicates this one is 162 3/8" long for that specific location. |
