| 1474705 | 2021-01-26 06:01:00 | Since I grew up with a paramedic for a Father, firemen/women will always be known as nodding daffodils in my world, When attending anything with a serious injury apparently they would just stand around in their yellow fire helmets nodding. | gary67 (56) | ||

| 1474709 | 2021-01-26 19:21:00 | I have always called it a fire engine ..........but just lately I have been hearing the Yank version, fire truck. I don't know, what's logical? An engine, to me, is the bit under the bonnet that powers the vehicle. You have cars, SUVs, motorbikes and trucks..... If it's a truck, fire or not, well, a truck is a truck. Not an engine. Who says oh look a Kenworth engine? |

| 1474710 | 2021-01-26 21:00:00 | I was a fireman in Auckland (mainly at Avondale fire station in Blockhouse Bay Rd) from late 1959 to mid 1963) ... We called them Pumps. At a fire if you needed help you got on the radio to Pitt St HQ with a message such as "Make pumps 3" In early days the fire appliance was the means to carry the pump, whether by horse and cart or suchlike. Glad I'm not a fireman these days. So much death and destruction to deal with. We only ever had fires as a problem. Ken;) |
