im sure they are a spare firecrew, its not like someone phones 999 for a fire and they get the answer " sorry they are lifting up a nove at the moment with water, can you wait an hour?" lol

Think the Fireman do it at displays and stuff for charity. Probably off duty to be honest.....

They are lazy ass mofos though who sleep most of the time and then go on strike!

You said

Waste of water
That is what I was replying to, ive no idea if the fireman get paid for it or not so I cant comment on stuff like if its a waste of money.

and as for running the pumps, its no more wasteful than me doing a trackday so im certainly not going to criticise that.
