Norwegian Fire Fighters

One dark night outside a small town in Minnesota, a fire started
inside the local chemical plant and in a blink it exploded into
massive
flames. The alarm went out to all the fire departments from miles
around.

When the volunteer firefighters appeared on the scene, the chemical
company
president rushed to the fire chief and said, "All of our secret
formulas are in the
vault in the center of the plant. They must be saved and I will give
$50,000 to the
fire department that brings them out intact."

But the roaring flames held the firefighters off. Soon more
fire departments had to be called in as the situation became
desperate.

As the firemen arrived, the president shouted out that the offer was
now $100,000 to the fire department who could bring out the
company's secret files.

From the distance, a lone siren was heard as another fire truck came
into sight. It was the nearby Norwegian rural township volunteer Fire
Company composed mainly of Norwegians over the age of 65.
To everyone's amazement, the little run-down fire engine, operated
by these Norwegians, passed all the newer sleek engines parked
outside the plant....and drove straight into the middle of the
inferno.

Outside the other firemen watched as the Norwegian old-timers jumped
off and began to fight the fire with an amazing performance and
within a short time, the Norsk old-timers had extinguished the fire
and saved the secret formulas.

The grateful chemical company president joyfully announced that for
such a superhuman feat he was upping the reward to $200,000 and
walked over to personally thank each of the brave, though elderly,
Norsk firefighters.

The local TV news reporters rushed in after capturing the event on
film asking, "What are you going to do with all that money?"

"Vell," said Ole Larsen, the 70-year-old fire chief, "der furst
ting ve gonna do is fix der brakes on dot focking truck!"
