Irish Fire Dept

[Landseka]

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 centre of the plant. They must be saved. I
will give $50,000 to the fire department that brings them out intact."
But the roaring flames held the fire-fighters off.
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 Irish rural township volunteer fire company
composed mainly of Irishmen 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 Irish old timers jumped off
right in the middle of the fire fought it back on all sides. It was a
performance and effort never seen before.
Within a short time, the Irish 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?"
"Well," said Shamus O' Foggerty, the 70-year-old fire chief, "Da first
ting we gonna do is fix da brakes on dat f...ing truck!
