Silverdale VFB Open Day - Fire Truck Pull! Fire vs Police

This is a recurring grudge match, my understanding is that Police had won in 2008 and 2009 and this 2010 rematch was hotly contested.

Both teams had to pull identical fire engines (Circa 14 Tonnes) the same distance. Congrats to Silverdale Fire for taking back the title!

Nice one mate!

I was filming from the speed bump, it didn't affect them as much as I thought!

Evil foreign corporations, I want a Quarter Pounder now :(

@blakjaknz Yeh I think I friend requested you on FB, I've uploaded some pix and a vid of the RNZAF truck in action.

@thekiwicanuck Ah, I crossed paths with that one as it was heading home enroute there, between Silverdale and Orewa. Must've just missed it.
