volunteer fire dept.

[mywifeknowseverythin]

One dark night outside a small town in Wisconsin , a fire started inside the local chemical plant and in a blink of an eye it exploded into massive flames. The alarm went out to all the fire departments for miles around.

When the volunteer fire fighters appeared on the scene, the chemical company president rushed to the fire chief and

said, "All our secret formulas are in the vault in the center of the plant. They must be saved.

However, the roaring flames held the firefighters off. I will give $50,000 to the fire department that brings them out intact."

Soon more fire departments had to be called in as the situation

became desperate. As the firemen arrived, the president

shouted out that the offer was now $100,000 to the fire department who could bring out the company's secret files.

From the distance, a lone siren was heard as another fire truck

came into sight. It was the nearby Norwegian rural township

volunteer fire company composed mainly of Norwegians over the age of 65.

To everyone's amazement, that little run-down fire engine roared right past all the newer sleek engines that were parked outside the plant. Without even slowing down it drove straight into the middle

of the inferno.

Outside, the other firemen watched as the Norwegian old timers

jumped off right in the middle of the fire and fought it

back on all sides. It was a performance and effort never seen before.

Within a short time, the Norske old timers had extinguished

the fire and had saved the secret formulas. The grateful chemical

company president announced that for such a superhuman feat he was upping the reward to $200,000, and walked over to personally thank each of the brave fire fighters.

The local TV news reporter rushed in to capture the event on film,

asking their chief, "What are you going to do with all that money?"

"Vell," said Ole Larsen, the 70-year-old fire chief, "Da first ting ve

gonna do is fix da brakes on dat focking truck!"
