Italian Firefighters (humor) One dark night in the small town of Garfield , NJ, a fire started insidethe local sausage factory. In a blink the building was engulfed in flames.The alarm went out to all the fire departments for miles around. When the first volunteer fire fighters appeared on the scene, the sausagecompany president rushed to the fire chief and said, 'All of our secretsausage recipes are in the vault in the center of the plant. They have to besaved, so I will donate $50,000 to the fire company that brings them out anddelivers them to me.' But the roaring flames held the firefighters off. Soon more fire departmentshad to be called in because the situation became desperate.As the firemen arrived, the president shouted out that the offer toextricate the secret recipes was now $100,000 to the fire department thatcould save them. Suddenly from up the road, a lone siren was heard as another fire truck cameinto sight. It was the fire engine of the nearby Lodi , NJ volunteer firedepartment composed mainly of Italian firefighters over the age of 65. To everyone's amazement, the little run-down fire engine, operated by theseItalian firefighters, passed fire engines parked outside the plant, anddrove straight into the middle of the inferno. Outside, the other firemenwatched in amazement as the Italian old timers jumped off and began to fightthe fire as if they were fighting to save their own lives.Within a short time, the Lodi old timers had extinguished the fire andsaved the secret recipes. The grateful sausage company president joyfully announced that for such asuperhuman accomplishment he was raising the reward to $200,000, and walkedover to personally thank each of the brave elderly Italian firefighters. A TV news crew rushed in after capturing the event on film. The 'on camera'reporter asked the Italian fire chief, 'What are you going to do with allthat money?' 'Wella,' said Chief Pasquale De Luccinellavanti, the 70-year-old fire chief,'de fursta tinga we gonnna do isza fixa de brakes on dat ******a truck!!'
