I will try and get you some pics of what we have tomorrow. We have a Ranger, with a wildland/stokes unit, Indian Cans, a tool chest, swamp mops and some gas cans on our trailer. I'll take pics as soon as I can/remember and either post them here or PM them to you.
Not too long ago we got a Kubota with a fire skid and ems skid plus a large trailer. Our shop guys are still working on fab'ing up the trailer but when its done I'll try to swing by and get some pics.
Chenzo did you get pictures yet?
Son of a bitch I was there today and forgot all about it. I will write myself a note so I remember.Quote:

I'll second that question. Been selling fire equipment for close to 40 years and that is a new one on me.Quote:

slackjawed and fire pundit, Fire Swatter/Swamp Mop/Swamp Whomper. Here's a pic. Idk what the hell you wanna call it but here it's a swamp mop or a swamp whomper. lol.
I never heard of that either, but now that I see the pic, I am thinking fly swatter on a much larger scale!Quote:

Down here "slappers"
Thank you for the pic.
Coucil tool used to sell it as a "Fire Swatter" even though you don't swat with it. I always called it a mudflap on a stick. Heard it called a lot but, swamp mop was new to me. I love it.
