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.
Just because it's called a throw bag, doesn't mean you throw the whole bag... you're supposed to hold onto the rope.

I'll second that question. Been selling fire equipment for close to 40 years and that is a new one on me. Originally Posted by slackjawedyokel

I never heard of that either, but now that I see the pic, I am thinking fly swatter on a much larger scale! Originally Posted by Chenzo

From my first grass fire on my #1 POC FD in 1977 those things have always been called swamp whompers. Why, I haven't got a clue. But I guess it is local like so many other things. You know like asking a guy if he wants the knob in some places means do you want the nozzle, here it might get your teeth turned into bloody Chiclets because of the other possible meaning!

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.
