Clean eh!.....hmmmmm.......hmmmmmmm..oh Ok. How about looking for the hose stretcher or the ladder stretcher. One of my favorites is when giving the station tour clear a compartment on a truck and have a firefighter climb in and shut the door. When the tour comes to this truck open the door and say "This is where we keep the spare firefighter!", works best if you both keep a straight face, close the door and continue the tour. If you live in a cold climate and a member has taken off an item of clothing get it wet and put it outside on the apron flat. It will freeze solid and then put it in his gear locker standing up. Works well with sheets too. There are more I'll keep thinking.
How about getting a jack and jacking their drive axle on their personal vehicle enough so the wheels are just off the ground. Or a zip strip on the drive shaft so it goes tick, tick, tick when they drive. Still thinking...
If you have a mechanical Fed 'Q' have the rookie wind the siren back up after each run. Works even better if you fabricated a "special key" to wind the siren.....
now i have put a pair of ladies underware extra large size on the outside of one of our firefighter's bunker pants. just make sure they find it during training and not during an emergency.
i've heard of sending the new guy under the engine to look for something and pulling the dump valve on them. haven't tried it myself.
