One dark night in the small town of Garfield, NJ,

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 held the firefighters off. Soon

More fire departments had to be called in because the

Situation became desperate. As the 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 Lodi, NJ 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 as the Italian old timers jumped off 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 Lodi

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!!"
