Default Fire Extinquisher Prop

Does anyone have any ideas on how to make a squirting fire extinquisher prop? We want to use them in a parade, but are having a tough time coming up with a good one.

Thanks........Punkin

Just remember that water is heavy, something on the order of 8 1/4 pounds per gallon. A garden sprayer usually holds 2 to 2 1/2 gallons. Call it 16 to 20 pounds. What if you took Scruffy's idea one step further and took either a trash can or perhaps better yet, at Lowes in the concrete area they sell cardboard tubes that are 18" to 24" in diameter. They are used as forms and concrete is poured inside. Anyway they could be cut to the height needed, wheels attached and the sprayer placed inside. Attach a rope down low to pull the "giant fire extinguisher" along behind you. You will still be able to spray and you won;t be lugging all that weight along a three mile parade route. What do you think Scruffy? How can we make this even better?

Convert a coaster wagon to a fire truck?

What's a coaster wagon? Is that a kid's wagon? That would be hilarious! Oversized fire extinquisher and undersized fire truck! LOL
