Firehose (typically rendered by the band as fIREHOSE) was an alternative rock band consisting of Mike Watt (bass, vocals), Ed Crawford (guitar, vocals), and George Hurley (drums). Firehose was formed in 1986 after the death of D. Boon brought an end to Minutemen. Watt and Hurley teamed up with the then 22-year-old Crawford, a guitarist and Minutemen fanatic. Crawford was from Ohio, thus the name of the third album, "fROMOHIO." The name of the band was taken from a line in a Bob Dylan song, "Subterranean Homesick Blues" : "...Better stay away from those that carry around a fire hose..." Firehose released five full-length albums and two EPs before disbanding in 1994. Inclusion of early material in several key skateboarding videos from the late 1980s led to a sizeable underground skateboarding audience. Noteably, "Brave Captain" from Ragin', Full On, and "Sometimes", "Hear Me", and "Windmilling" from If'n were in the Santa Cruz Speed Wheels video "Streets on Fire." Mike Watt, raised in San Pedro, California since 1967, still resides there. George Hurley, originally from San Pedro as well, resides in North Carolina.

Firehose in the news
"FireHose", a collaborative moderation system for Slashdot.org is in beta stages Computerworld's Joyce Carpenter called Slashdot's recently implemented Firehose, "a bad metaphor and a bad idea." Firehose allows users to vote on which blog entries they think are worthy of posting, but Carpenter says "the new system encourages submission of unworthy items ... and viral marketing scams. A bigger hose with more crap." The Slashdot Firehose was intriguing albeit unpolished. The new SlashRating with copyright and Slashdottit! with trademark is pathetic. Don't worry guys, no one is going to steal this from you! Worst form of copycatting I've seen since HuffIt!
