    Are smoothbores ruining American fire service culture?

    When we talk about smoothbore vs. fog nozzles, are we really meaning high pressure vs. low pressure? I've fought tooth and nail to get smoothbores and ended up finding out I'd be just as happy with a low pressure fog if that was all I could get.     Here are just a few of the many awesome resources out there on nozzles:   Dennis LeGear - Hydrant 2 Nozzle  Andy Fredericks - Little Drops of Water   Jonathan Brumley - The Fire Fight   Justin Mann - Woods Forcible Entry Door Prop - From the Rig to the Door  Kyle Romagus - FD Tactics - Facebook Prison  Todd Edwards - Fire Life Training  Steve Robertson - Stretching for Success
