What a great weekend! Saturday was Suckasunny Day (correct spelling) followed by a wetdown to celebrate Roxbury's purchase of a new tender. To those of you that have no idea what a tender is, they used to be called tankers until a few years ago when FEMA decided that the fire department needed to standardize it's terminology, so there would be less confusion while coordinating multi-jurisdictional responses for large incidents. In other words, they were afraid that if someone from New Jersey called for a tanker in California, they would get a water drop from an airplane instead of a truck. So if someone from California asks for an engine, do we get to send them a locomotive?
You say potato...
Anyway, the kids had a good time. There was a lot of good food and plenty of beer, and trucks from neighboring towns came in with lights and sirens before they stretched their lines and soaked our new TENDER.
