Firefighter jokes
A fire started on some grassland near a
farm in Indiana. The fire department from the nearby town was called
to
put the fire out.
The fire proved to be more than the
small town fire department could
handle, so someone suggested that a
rural volunteer fire department be
called. Though there was doubt
that they would be of any assistance, the
call was made.
The
volunteer fire department arrived in a dilapidated old fire truck.
They drove straight towards the fire and stopped in the middle of the
flames. The volunteer firemen jumped off the truck and frantically
started spraying water in all directions. Soon they had snuffed out
the
center of the fire, breaking the blaze into two easily
controllable parts.
The farmer was so impressed with the volunteer fire
department's work
and so grateful that his farm had been spared,
that he presented the
volunteer fire department with a check for
$1000. A local news reporter
asked the volunteer fire captain what
the department planned to do with
the funds.
"That should be
obvious," he responded, "the first thing we're
gonna do is get the
brakes fixed on that stupid fire truck."
