Guns and Hoses








Every Spring I have the honor of taking photographs for the Evansville Firemen at the Guns and Hoses Event.  This is a fight night between the Evansville Police Department and the Evansville Firefighters.  When I first shot this epic battle, I was stunned at the professionalism, preparation and skills these guys (and sometimes girls) exhibit.  This is their largest fund raising event of the year and all proceeds go to charities.  If you are lucky enough to have a Guns and Hoses event in your area....don't miss it...it will be a night you won't forget!

Great shots but can't help wondering how many braincells hit the canvas too.

Ths ShabbyGirl. Yes, these events are held in several cities and always prove to be an exciting evening. This year, the Firefighters won the match. Very serious in the ring but very cordial outside the ring.

J...don't know about the brain cells but the 63 year old ear drums suffered a bit!
