Firetruck practice

Skills. Weird skills, but skills. 

Having operated a ladder fire truck, that is really tough.  Especially if it would be the chief's house!

So you plugged the stack with a ball, caused sewer gas explosion, then your practice was to put the fire out?

Some variation of that was actually discussed.

I could watch videos of things like that all day. I find them very relaxing.

I, for one, am not surprised. 

That's the strangest variation of "Ball In A Cup" that I've ever seen, but I'll allow it.

Hahahaha . . . you know this kind of stuff is why your cop friends all give you E36 M3 right?

Wrong.

All my cop friends who are standing out in the heat/cold/rain working road jobs kick themselves for taking the wrong test as we drive by in the truck.

In reply to Woody :

Hahahaha . . . OK, just one more:

All kidding aside, one of our major local jurisdictions is set up on the "public safety" model, where everyone is cross-trained police/fire.  The fact that all the high seniority guys drive the fire rigs is telling. 

Around here we have lots of vacant houses they can practice on before it is torn down.    No threat to anyone.
