| Description: | When two rival volunteer fire departments stage a high-pressure free-for-all with their fire hose, Main Street resembles the beach at high tide. The hose 'snakes' loose at one point, dousing the spectators as well as the vamps. Well-manned fire trucks pull out of stations. Funny firefighter fight - one guy on the team absorbs the opponents' blast of water with his back and bottom while his teammates aim their hose. Looks like good clean fun. Women spectators wring out their dresses. Establishing shot - A fire engines pulling out of the fire house, fire men standing on the side of the trucks. CU - Fire chief checking out the nozzle of the hose. High Angle Shot - A large crowd has gathered to watch the firemen man their battle stations. MS - Fire men laying on top of the fire hoses. MS - The hose gets loose and people get wet. MS - Ladies ringing out their wet dresses. | |
