Not bad. But the first engine that they had in Somerville? I'm from Mass., and when in my late teens, early 20s, (the 60s) I made a point of attending all the local and regional Fireman's Musters held in open fields and main streets here and there around much of New England. http://www.mantecabulletin.com/section/158/article/80092/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/jacksnell707/5828890217/in/gallery-firefightersband-72157627146810508/ Must be CA as this was Potographed by Jack Snell. :) http://www.flickr.com/photos/45436499@N02/8514304763/in/pool-old_fire_trucks/ http://shoutaboutcarolina.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/1857-button-and-blake-hand-fire-pumper-charleston.jpg and finally, New England back in my day, just not me.

Only difference is we measured the distance from the nozzle to the furthest drop of water on a unrolled 6' x 200' roll of kraft paper (usually between 175 and 310 feet). http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embeddedv=maFdk6G8bmI On Sep 1, 2013, at 15:15 , Daniel J.
