Nice Hose wagon Pics Michael, are they from The department museum? Private, city owned? as far as Using the term Plug man, back east it is mainly a slang term, we call our Hydrantman a Hydrantman and the pipeman is more popular around in general, but again we use firefighter or nozzleman... Moot I know,but I suppose it came with an enlarged diversity to better allow ease in communication with "accents" not always like your own.. My city, like many others east coats and beyond has historically been and still is a melting pot of diversity, and slang terms tend to be put aside for seemingly more proper english ... I dunno..lol.. If You said I was the Pipeman or plugman or for that matter plugperson or Pipeperson, I would know my job.. :)

This is the old Hose Company # 8 in ST. Louis before it became ST. Louis Fire Dept. in 1857 the second paid Dept. in the country.

Does anyone call a hydrant a plug. Here in ST. Louis we call hydrants plugs. Back in time their was a water line that ran down the side of the streets. When their was a fire the Fire Dept would put a whole in the pipe in front of the fire . When they were done with the fire they would put a plug in it. So on our pumpers we have the pipeamn, the plugman , the captain and the driver.
