No, there is no typo in the title of the entry. I spent a good portion of my day yesterday at hose races. These are competitions run by firemen, for firemen and also, in a fun way, for training.
For those who have never seen them, take a look at the gallery below.
Second post will include photos from the second camera. My batteries died in the middle of things.

Great pics… wow does that bring back memories!!! Used to watch these all the time when they were at the top of Delphine St.
This is only the first part of the pics. I managed to run out of batteries so had to take Elise’s camera and finish out the competition.
