Fireman in a small town

Our cub scout pack had our last meeting of the year last week. We had an outdoor theme. We played with hoola hoops, had a water balloon toss, and played with Frisbees. The highlight came when the firetruck pulled up in front of the field. The truck was holding 1,200 gallons of water.

All the kids knew what came next and lined themselves up in the path of the hose mounted on top of the truck. The fireman was excited to come and be a part of our meeting. He started up the truck and sprayed a HUGE plume of water into the air. If you didn't look up, you would think it was raining. Some kids got up on the truck and helped direct the spray across the field. Somewhere around five minutes later, the water ran out. All the kids groaned at the same time at the end of getting soaked. They shouted, "MORE!". The fireman agreed we should have more. He backed the truck about two blocks down the road and filled the truck up at the hydrant. When he pulled back up to our field, he started spraying again. Everyone had a great time, and it was a fun meeting.

On my way home, I saw the firetruck back at the hydrant. I slowed down and saw the fireman spraying water for a single kid that was playing in the yard where the hydrant was located.

That's a guy that really enjoys his job.
