Not bad, fairly quick knockdown defensively. I love watching hose being laid.
Something is always on fire in Paterson. They get plenty of practice.
I bet it’ll be awhile before that firefighter swings a tool at a garage door without remembering that reaction.
I think hose being stretched off a tiller has to be one of the most depressing things I’ve ever seen on a fire video.
Off a tiller? Better watch the movie again. It came off the pumper in front of it.
….D’oh.
Now I remember. Something distracted me for the first few seconds when I watched it the first time, the phone I think… I never saw the engine till now. Mah bad.
.
Yeah, BH, I know the feeling.
Felt the same way when they replaced the horses with motorized tugs.
Now theres’ talk of adding something to plain water to make it more effective too.
Why can’t things just stay the same for us leather-heads…
