Ah......Brownsville.......da good old days.

Thanks Chief

Certainly the old days. Taking a feed....hanging out a window looking for some air...

Sitting on the back step with mild carbon monoxide poisoning....glassy eyed...moving slowly...puking....pasted!

Spend the rest of the afternoon coughing sludge out of your lungs.....taking recoup time (Take an hour!)

That's what I remember seeing on the fireground in the 1960's.
