> 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

to

> 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 Dumont, NJ Fire Co. #3 . The volunteer
> fire department 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 inferno.

> Outside, the other firemen watched in amazement

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 gonnna
> do isza fixa de brakes on dat fockinna truck!!'
