Got to play with the front monitor on a fire engine today.
We practised water shuttle relay operations. It was freezing cold but there was goulash soup afterwards. It was a good day.

This is far from dull
You overestimate the appeal of standing around in wet snowfall and waiting for everybody to cycle through all the stations in the training.
Agreed, ban this hooligan.
Fire brigade + goulash soup = eternal match
Eternal and glorious.
Wait, that's a monitor?
A kind of lizard (among other things).
It's called that in German firefighting
In German it's called a Wasserwerfer or Monitor. I found no exact translation.
It's "water cannon" in English.
A monitor is usually this:
Although sound people will call big stage speakers or studio headphones "monitors" for some audiophilic reason.
Monitor is a perfectly acceptable technical term in this case.
okay so I might be wrong, but I beleive "monitor" is used for any speaker thaf repeats the input back to the person performing. I used to work the sound board at a church, and theres little speakers by where the choir sings so they can hear themselves better.
My audio interface also has a "monitor" button next to the xlr inputs, which sends the mic input back into the outputs so I can hear myself talk
Did you get to fight a cop?
Nah, those are pretty chill around here. Usually we only see them when responding to traffic accidents or bigger structure fires and then they usually turn up way later than we do because they are stationed a lot further apart.
Mmmmm, Waßer.
That's way too fucking exciting. Get out.
It sounds exciting, it was fun for five minutes and then it was mostly cold and the cleanup was miserable. I'm voting for exercises on mild summer evenings only.
