SILVER SPRING, MD – Montgomery County Fire & Rescue officials are denying any wrongdoing after a firehose \u201caccidentally\u201d blasted thousands of gallons of water across the Takoma Thunderbolts baseball field last week, soaking the outfield and forcing the game\u2019s cancellation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The firefighters claim the incident was not retaliation for a dented truck, but rather the kickoff of a new community event they\u2019re calling the \u201cWet Dreams Charity Baseball Hose-Off.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know why everyone\u2019s so upset,\u201d said Montgomery County Fire Chief Corey Smedley, while sipping from a protein shake and adjusting his reflective aviators. \u201cThis was clearly a fun, sexy, shirtless community fundraiser featuring local heroes and minor league heartthrobs getting wet for a good cause. If anything, people should be thanking us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The controversy began when a Thunderbolts player hit a batting practice homerun that flew over the outfield fence and striking a firefighter\u2019s personal vehicle. Moments later, a firetruck pulled up along the fence, and what appeared to be an act of vengeance commenced: a full-blast soaking of the outfield from a firetruck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It was like Coachella for firefighters with unresolved anger issues,” said a ticket holder. “Minus the music. And the consent.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making matters murkier, the incident occurred just days after the Montgomery County Council passed new legislation imposing $5,000 fines for hosting unlicensed commercial parties in residential neighborhoods – nicknamed “Wet Dreams” parties after the infamous pool party at a Potomac mansion last year – prompting speculation that the firefighters tried to sidestep the fine by pretending the water deluge was all part of a last-minute fundraiser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll be investigating,\u201d said a county spokesperson. \u201cBut we can confirm the phrase \u2018Wet Dreams\u2019 appeared nowhere on the event permit request\u2026 because there was no event permit request.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked if he regretted the incident, Fire Chief Smedley shook his head. \u201cThe only thing I regret,\u201d he said, \u201cis not bringing the Slip ‘N Slide.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
