This barrel is suspended by an eyelet hooked around a cable about 10 feet in the air. The cable extends crosswise over three tennis courts. The object of the competition is to drive the barrel along the cable with the 120 psi water pressure from the fire hoses so that it slides past the opponents goal. The opposing team is trying to drive the barrel in the opposite direction with their high pressure water. Firemen compete as a 3 person team - one holding the nozzle of the fire hose and controlling the direction of the high pressure spray while the other two team members keep the length of hose out of the way of the first fireman as he goes back and forth under the cable.
