Fire PLUG term for Hydrant is from days of old. Water main were very shallow, made of wood. The guys would expose the watermain and make a hole in it for fire fighting water. After fire they would PLUG up the hole in main. Then that would be a new fire plug ( Hydrant) these would be plugs for future fires if they had another in same area. There was a time in history when water systems had NO Hydrant installed when wooden water mains were put in. A lot of area the water main were owned by the big land Barron or the main money rich guy in towns. He control the water systems, mainly for his factorys.
I’ve heard the possessive before but in reference to the firehouse itself being the center of its own district or area of operation. IE; we work in 11’s district, we’re running in 5’s for this call, etc.
Thank you for all your hard work and sacrifice, I have a suggestion for a meal, 5 bags of knorr alfredo noodles, milk and a stick of butter, and you can save time by getting a whole rotisserie chicken, pull the meat off the bone, cook noodles and stir in the pulled chicken and u r done, it is so good, u can serve with bread or vegetables. Or a salad.❤
If you have two sets of bunker gear and one is used at a fire and contaminated then you have a 2nd fire so your 2nd bunker is contaminated then what happens if you get a 3rd fire? Also in OKC you might call it an engine but out west it would be called a Quint an engine with a ladder are mobile home park is covered by Quint 90 the same type of engine you have
It def is a quint but OKC and STL call there 50' rigs engines, probably tradition, but you are correct, it tech is a quint per NFPA. The washing your gear is a load of crap. We have the washers but most of us still do it old school and clean with hose and brushes. Gonna die from something anyway and you get cancer from everything....now some lawyer says foam...tomorrow it will be potatoes.

I had never heard that the stations numbers were possessive, but I was told that the numbers were pluralized because of 3 shifts at each station. Either works I guess.
@@Fire84569 Well some say 75' some say 50 is quint. Been career over 30 years so kind of have idea of what one is, just depends on where you are at. We have 50, 75 and 102' Quints.

Using a whole stick of butter is disgusting and your size makes it obvious you like using whole sticks of butter too frequently
In some depts engine 11 would be called a Quint.
