Prescott Fire had their first fire call on New Years Day, well technically it broke out at 2 am so it was actually January 2nd. Let me just paint a scenario for you. It is 2 degrees out and everything around is covered in snow... now add water to the mix...what do you get a HUGE ice skating rink. They were able to save the house, but it was not an easy save, they spent almost 7 hours on it, the water was freezing in the hoses and as it was being pumped out of the truck. Here are some pictures of it.
Dan's pump panel on the truck, look at the icicles forming.

The hoses were frozen, they couldn't roll them up to put them back on the fire truck instead they loaded them into a pick=up and drove them back to the station. It took days for these hoses to defrost.

Yikes I think the cold would be horrible to work in. I sent it to my dad and brother so they could see. They always complain how hot turnouts are. :)
