In the sport of Fire Racing, there are plenty of terms that are used throughout the season which are unique to the sport. What are some of these terms?

I'll even reply first.
Stick - the handle to the quarter-turn hydrant valve
Cones - Traffic cones placed 150 ft from the arch and hydrant. Used to mark the general area to start slowing down in the C Ladder and C hose contests.
Arch - Structure which runs across the track at a height of about 20 feet. Racers scale the ladder which rests against the arch.

superstructure - the weight for the speed ladder
hot drop - what took my skin off lol
the patch - where the diggers spike the ladder and the safety zone.
hey theres another one, "THE SAFETY ZONE" - where u the ladder runs are legal and safe to climb up.
all i got now

smack- getting a nice shot at the hydrant
splatter ladder- what happens when the ladder team dosent work together
dig- putting the spike of the ladder in the patch.
slack- keeps the hydrantman form getting pulled down the track when he gets off the truck. See also, anchor.

Malurkie=When you stick out your pinky and your forefinger and you say MALURKIE. This supposedly makes the team running mess up and do bad.
