Italian Fire Department

One dark night in a small town of Roselle Park, New Jersey a fire started inside the 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 fire fighters appeared on the scene, the sausage company president rushed to the fire chief and said, 'All of our secret sausage recipes are in the vault in the center of the plant. They have to be saved, so I will donate $50,000 to the fire company that brings them out and delivers them to me.'

 

But the roaring flames held the firefighters off. Soon more fire departments had to be called in because the situation became desperate. As the firemen arrived, the president announced that the offer to extricate the secret recipes was now $100,000!

 

Suddenly from up the road, a lone siren was heard as another fire truck came into sight. It was the

fire engine of the nearby Peterstown section of Eizabeth, NJ .

This fire department was composed mainly of Italian firefighters over the age of 65.

To everyone's amazement, the little run-down fire engine, operated by these Italian firefighters, passed fire engines parked outside the plant, and drove straight into the middle of the blazing inferno!

 

Outside, the other firemen watched in amazement as the Italian old timers jumped off and began to

fight the fire as if they were fighting to save their own lives. Within a short time, the old timers

had extinguished the fire and saved the secret recipes. The grateful sausage company president joyfully

announced that for such a superhuman accomplishment he was raising the reward to $200,000, and walked over 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 all that money?'

 

'Wella,' said Chief Pasquale De Luccinelli, the 70-year-old fire chief,

'de fursta tinga we gonna do isza fixa de brakes onna dat fockinna firetruck!!'

Sounds like Jerry Clower's joke about the Leadbetter family's truck and fire.
