Did you know...

... that today is the birthday of the Rubber Fire Hose? As
early as 400 B.C. the hose was made out of ox gut. Then came
leather tubes sewn together. In 1821, James Boyd patented the
rubber fire hose. This invaluable tool for firefighting has
undergone dramatic changes over the centuries. What
improvements will firefighters of the future see?
