Only thing funnier is when one of our engines dropped 800 feet of 5 in. down the middle of a major road at 5 pm. We made the news for backing up traffic in the whole city.
When I was on the department, we were taking a freshly cleaned engine to a funeral detail. Full Class A uniforms all around. We dropped 1500 feet of 5" right down the right lane of the interstate. In August, in South Carolina... we finally made it to the funeral in very damp dress uniforms.
Local department did something like that with their mobile hydrant rig. Over 1500ft down the middle of a highway! Didn't know it until he was canceled and went to turn around. Driver's new nickname after that was hoselay! 🤣
