We use the Hosebird client provided by Twitter. It does expose a Firehose 
endpoint but of course your tokens would have to be validate for that endpoint. 
I've never actually tested it, since I don't have credentials for the 
Firehouse, but I would love to hear the results of using it. I believe it uses 
the gnip endpoint.
