Today's Fact of the Day. Well, the theme this week, per.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
Fact the Day is fire trucks.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Fire trucks because Thursday morning, in fact, this time on Thursday,
we will know the name of the new Hawks bay
i Port fire truck.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
I noticed as well when you go on to vote,
now it doesn't show you the rankings.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
No, we won't keeping it secret from us. We won't know.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Now, this is the naming competition that we hijacked, basically,
Dame Judy Drene.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
We're going down to Hawk's Bay, and I'll be so
disappointed if we don't win.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
But that's just me. That's just where I'm at. I'd
like to think we've got this in the bag. Voting
is now shut. Voting is now shut. Yeah it is.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
So we'll find out on Thursday, and we're going to
be we're going down to flying into nap here on
Wednesday and broadcasting so yes, Thursday morning from like from
the airport, from the aero Club.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
So fire trucks, Today's fact of the day is that
there is a difference between a fire truck and a
fire engine.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Oh, I've never even thought about that. I thought I
thought it was the same thing, just words.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
A fire engine.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
By definition, engine is designed to carry five hundred gallons
or thereabouts of water and pump water from a hydrant yeap,
whereas a fire truck is designed to carry ladders, special
reci equipment, and other special fire fighting equipment along with
a ladder.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
All right, and then do they do they do. The
fire trucks hook into the water things. No fire engines
hook into the hydrants. These sure fire trucks carry all
the other stuff.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
We have New Zealand we would have more fire engines
because we don't have huge high rise buildings like New York.
Have those fire trucks that are just ladder trucks. There
is a ladder truck, isn't there is old?
Speaker 3 (03:01):
It does look old, Yeah it does. I think there
might be a new one though as well. Is because
every time there's like a hour, alarm goes off for
any of the apartments around.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
The ladder truck and the ladder truck. The ladder truck
doesn't have hoses.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
I don't think so. No, he's just the ladder truck.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
We're gonna whack it with the ladder, whack the flames
of the ladder.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
They're working conjunc useless can work without a fire truck,
but a fire truck would very really.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Truck just one out of a tree. I think there's
just one, and so I think this is I think
we combined. I think you're talking about America or something. Yeah,
I think you can.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
What I'm saying is we can't call them. We shouldn't
be calling them fire engines. If the ladder, guys, that's
a fire truck.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Okay, So what are we looking for when we say,
oh my gosh, look it's I'm not even looking at
the trucks.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
I'm looking at who's driving it.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
To be.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Pumps, yeah, to pump the water hydrants?
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Exactly?
Speaker 4 (03:59):
What pes that's a fire to be way more fire
engines than using on the fire truck there would be.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
I just don't know what you're doing turning up to
a fire with no bloody water.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
What are we call the ones where we take our
own water? You know you'll see those ones like rural
places water maybe fire tank can could be maybe could be.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
So we don't have fire hydrants like in America?
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Do we.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Rid ones with.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
The Yeah, we're just freeheads everywhere. Yeah yeah yeah, free
heads and s V stop valve. That's not the fire.
That's not for the fire fighters. That that's something to
do with water, like the town supply. I try to
look up if h in Z, but it's just fault
and Hogan. Now that's not what I was looking at.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Or maybe see what's under it if you're pulled up.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
That can it's a little thing and they click into ita, is.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
It a tank though, where's the water supply coming from
the ground?
Speaker 1 (05:01):
This earth drink and apply? Yeah? I think so. It's
just normal water. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
That's why when they try to put out a fire
and their fletches off his horrendous town supply of water,
it actually works the fire worse. Yeah, because somehow it's
not oiler in the water and it's flammable water.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Fine, beautiful water done some fracking right where you come from.
They try to put out a fire with oil. It's
like a coconut or beautiful.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Man. Okay, do you want some firefighters have missaged in Okay,
firefighter here, this fact.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Is very American.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
I knew it.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
I knew it doesn't apply in the same way. Johnno
Is called up X firefighter. Good morning, John O, good question.
Were you ever in the calendar?
Speaker 6 (05:47):
No, it sounds like I wasn't.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Based with my looks, it sounds like you should be
in the calendar. John. Okay, Well that's a nice compliment
for you today. Now sit us right with one's fact,
because we can't start fact of the day week about
firefighters with fire trucks. Fire trucks silly fact like this.
Speaker 6 (06:10):
It's no, I haven't changed once I've been out. But
so New Zealand's got kind of trucks. It's a seven
truck and one truck. So a seven truck is your
rescue truck which has got all your cutting gear on
it and all that sort of stuff. It all does
have a tank with water supply on it. They still
can fill up from fire hydrants and everything, but it's
(06:31):
just a lot less water than the one truck, which
is predominantly used for house fires and vegetata files and
that sort of stuff.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Right, So there are two different types of trucks.
Speaker 6 (06:41):
We call them in two types of truck, one.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Truck and seven truck.
Speaker 6 (06:44):
So our sort of will give it away to where
I was. But ours was eight one one and eight
one seven, So eight one seven truck was the one
that would go out to car accidents and things like
that that you need the rescue gear, and eight one
one it was our.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Big ladder on it. What's that one? Is that a
whole different.
Speaker 6 (07:07):
Letters, but the bigger letters are generally on the one
trucks or but then the biggest studies have also got
your big bright and stuff.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
With fully grow me would run to the window to
see which fire trucks are.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Okay, so this is quite embarrassing for Vaughn, really, isn't it,
because you've really America.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
That happens.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Okay, And one at the start was that you're like
station code yees gotcha right, okay.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
Just got you.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
When you cook chips in the oven, do you flip
all the chips or do you just rotate the tray?
Speaker 6 (07:49):
Got to rotate the tray.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
He's been doing about this whole time. He's a smart man,
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
John, smart man?
Speaker 1 (07:55):
What is what do you do now that you're not
a firefighter?
Speaker 6 (07:59):
Look company now?
Speaker 1 (08:00):
So okay, you want to give it a plug unless
it's a secret we could do.
Speaker 6 (08:11):
With more work if people are listening with HD property maintenance.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
All right, Okay, we're in the right.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
So somebody like accidentally put a hole in the wall
at a party at the weekend. You'll kind of fix
that up, yeah, bro, Yeah, thank you John. Okay, there
you go. Well, do you want to redo your fact?
Speaker 1 (08:36):
It's not quite accurate though irrelevant? Well, okay, today, very.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
There's actually two types of fire truck in New Zealand.
There's the ones and the ones that.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Thought don't claim it like you've come up with.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
A fa ones. The third, they'll have three numbers, the
first two of the air station code and then the
last one one is the big tank guy, and seven
more specializers in car riscues.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
I'm just taking another man's work.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
This is more embarrassing with calendar weeks. We take a breathe.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
I'm ready to wrap this thing up, put a bow
in it, and have another mouthful of nuts.
I told you that we had to go on here
