Italian firefighters

One dark night in the small town of West Haven, CT, 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 volunteer 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
must be saved. I will donate $50,000 to the fire department that brings
them out and delivers them to me'

But the roaring flames and intense heat held the firefighters off. Soon
more fire departments had to be called in because the situation became
desperate As more firemen arrived, the president shouted out that the
offer to extricate the secret recipes was now $100,000 to the fire
department that could save them


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 Derby,CT volunteer
fire department composed of Italian firefighters, all 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 inferno!! Outside, the other
firemen watched in amazement as the Italian old timers jumped off their
truck and began to fight the fire with a performance that was as if they
were fighting to save their own lives. Within a short time, the Derby 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 upping 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 Luccinellavanti, the 70-year-old fire
chief, 'de fursta tinga we gonnna do isza fixa uppa de brakes on dat
fockinna truck!!'
