• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

The Fireman Olympics

the last part where they preprime the suction in the tank,hook it to the pump and pull out the hose to hit the target...thats simular to what the do in north america firemans musters...we used an engine,,classes range from the 1900-10-10-20-20-30 and so on...if that made sence....like world war two fire engines were a class of thier own..hose wagons had thier own class..live steamers (there are 3 in northern california and nevada that compete)1950s and 60s era engines..

the crew is sitting in chairs behind the engine,,,,rule used to be engine OFF,it can be running now aslong as it has a good working break,,youd be surprized,,,the crew jumps up off the chairs..everyone gets on the engine for 20 feet where it slides to a stop...two people hit the hydrant,one hooks to the pump and two take the nozel out and you knock a orange traffic cone off a 5 gallon bucket...

then there is "bucket brigaid" passing 100 gallons of water in as short a time as possible with buckets....
