Volunteer Fire Department...

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 $1,000.

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 were going to do
is get the brakes fixed on that stupid fire truck."
