Firefighters make a splash and a rainbow

Last week I was out trolling (driving around town looking for a feature photo) when I happened to come across a group of Cheyenne firefighters using a ladder truck to fire water into an empty parking lot at Frontier Park. At first, I thought I might have found a fire, but when I got closer I realized they were just training. I shot a few frames of the firefighters by the truck then braved getting down range of their stream (in 30-degree weather) to get a bit of the rainbow they were creating in the frame. I got wet, but it was worth it.
