Need I remind everyone that in the past fire brigades were based on the system in the video. The "team" would arrive and solicit payment (or a bid for payment) and if satisfactory, they would begin operations. The dalmation was an extremely loyal companion dog who would protect the brigade's equipment and water supply.

Wouldn't it be fun to return to the good ol' days?

And next time someone calls you "plug ugly," you can tell them that:

>The term fireplug originated ... when water mains were made out of wood. When a fire erupted, crews dug to the main and bored a hole in the main to access the water. When the emergency was over, a "plug" was put into the wood main to seal the hole ... competing hydrant companies installed new fire hydrants and developed alliances with hose and engine companies that responded to fires. Plug uglies were bad guys, ruffians or thugs paid to protect the hydrants of one firm from the plug uglies of another firm.<

They looked something like this:

I hope not like that (but who knows these days). Ever see the stories on Firehouse.com, "Fire Dept. watches house burn b/c owner wasn't a subscriber". :roll: They say, the city won't institute a fire tax, so if the residents want fire protection, someone has to pay for it. This is true, someone does, and firefighters shouldn't have to beg.. But refusing to save a home, because the owner is a cheap skate.. Started in Roman times, you would have had to pay a hefty sum to get a fire extinguished. Then, you could pay groups of fire watchers to oversee your property, as to prevent large fires from breaking out.

Funny, I bet people would react differently if an ambulance refused to help someone b/c they weren't a subscriber. :wink:
