MOTORIZED PUMPERS AND MOTORIZED HOSE WAGONS

In the motorized pumper event, six team members sit on chairs as if in a firehouse. When the alarm rings, the team members run to their rig and respond as if going to a fire. Along the 300 foot course, after passing a hydrant, a hose lay is made. The engine and remaining crew continue down the street. When the engine stops, as if in front of a burning building, additional hose connections are made and the line laid from the hydrant is "charged" or filled with water. A target is knocked down as if aiming at the source of the fire, with the hose stream. When the target is down the time stops. In the motorized hose wagon event, the six team members follow the same course as the pumpers, the exception being that the pump is bypassed and the target is knocked down with the hydrant pressure only.
