Starts at 60 Daily Joke: A house in a small town caught fire

A house in a small town caught fire so the local fire department was called to put it out. However, the fire was far too much for the department to handle on their own so someone suggested that a nearby volunteer group be called to action. Despite some doubt that the volunteers would be of any assistance, the call was made.

The volunteers arrived in a dilapidated old fire truck. They rumbled straight towards the fire, drove right into the middle of the flames and stopped! The volunteer firemen jumped off the truck and frantically started spraying water in all directions. Soon they had snuffed out the centre of the fire, breaking the blaze into two easily-controlled parts.

Meanwhile, a small crowd had gathered to watch the firemen at work. Everyone was so impressed with the brave work of the volunteer fire department they began cheering. The owner of the building was so happy with their work, she provided the group with a cheque for $1,000. A local news reporter asked the volunteer fire captain what the department planned to do with the funds.

“That ought to be obvious, ” he responded, wiping ashes off his coat. “The first thing we’re gonna do is get the brakes fixed on that stupid truck!”
