Two Minnesota firefighters battled a truck fire while wearing dresses during a St. Patrick's Day Parade. The YouTube video of the incident has gone viral. Local media report the men were dressed up to promote a 'beauty pageant' fundraiser.

I love the dude that keeps pulling up the strap of his dress while working, now he knows how annoying women's clothing can be

Gotta love iPhone users that can't turn their phone sideways to take a video.

Ohhhh.... Where to begin. I totaly appreciate their dedication and can sympathise with the whole dress strap issue but we have rules inplace over this. Full turnout gear and breathing air from the SCBA with the face shield down. There is just way too much that go wrong on auto fires to not follow these rules. Exploding tires, bumpers and batteries. Toxic smoke and the every possible chance of a flash. We would be written up for sure. Sorry I'm not trying to be a downer on a rther funny video but these guys are really not be manly but rather really risking their lives for a vehicle that was not even occupied. This did not appera to be a life safety issue at all.

I agree Dis, good video of what NOT to do. I would be embarrassed to be a part of that fiasco, even without the guys wearing a dress.

We've lived up here for almost 4 years now, and I'll just say this........

It is a different world up here, very, very, different! Particularly in the very rural farming communities.
