HARRISBURG, Pa.-- It wasn't raining on Saturday, but water was falling from the skies in Harrisburg.
Fire hoses sprayed water into the Susquehanna River as part of the PA Pump Primer Annual Muster, held at Riverfront Park.
Every July, the Primers hold the event, with more than 100 pieces of antique fire apparatus brought in for the crowd to see.
"It's a great family event. Even if you're not a fireman, come out and check out the trucks, see the equipment, see what it was all about, I mean, it's really neat," said Jim Scott, who was visiting with his family.
A number of firefighting contests were also held for the crowd to enjoy, and of course, for bragging rights.
Awards were given to the winners and the river got topped off with thousands of gallons of water.
