Interesting Fire Department stuff.

[Gargamel]

I had my red card many many years ago, but never got called out or really did much with it. One of the crews near where I lived at the time had taken an old dual rear axle tanker/pumper, removed the rear wheels, and added a half track setup to it. They stored it west somewhere, since shipping it back to Ohio every few months was ridiculous. When the crew got called out, they'd go get the truck and work from there. They'd live off that truck for weeks at a time.
