I presume that they don't rattle too much, as they are used not just on fire engines, but on many normal, American trucks. I only knew about them as I happened to see a video, on Youtube a few weeks ago, showing them working on a truck on a snow covered road. |

why do fire engines have chains hanging underneath? Ours don’t. Static discharge? More likely so that when the water stream hits electrical stuff that current is earthed. |
