HI Skip [}:)] [;)] Just couldn't resist that one. [}:)] [:p] Out in the country most of the time you don't have a plug. Therefore you have to shuttle water. No fun and not very helpful either. [:(] I really don't have a lot of funny stories when it comes to firefighting. When you are in a rural area a lot of the time when the fire is noticed it basically is too late for that structure. The best you can do is protect the nearest structures and propane tanks with a water curtain. That takes a lot of water and definately more than one truck. When you can pump in excess of 500 gpm you can empty a tank real quick. Then if it takes 15 minutes to find a plug and refill you can see the problem here. Some departments have a tanker but most don't. So a fire in a rural area is a bad deal from the start. [:(] A bad deal, even worse, is a trailor house. The floor buckles and when it does, Katy bar the door. NOT A GOOD THING AT ALL. [xx(] I think the older ones are worse than the newer ones. But since I don't do it anymore someone else could probally give better knowledge here. Anyway, my bad stories would far outnumber my funny stories. [:(] I really don't care to go there. I imagine most of the other guys wouldn't either. [V]
