    Norwegian Fire Department in action

    The alarm went out to all the fire departments for miles around.
    When the volunteer fire fighters appeared on the scene, the chemical company
    president rushed to the fire chief and said, "All our secret formulas are in
    the vault in the center of the plant. They must be saved. 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,
    that little run-down fire engine roared right past all the newer sleek
    engines that were parked outside the plant.
    Without even slowing down it drove straight into the middle of the inferno.
    Outside, the other firemen watched as the Norwegian old timers jumped off
    right in the middle of the fire fought it back on all sides. It was a
    performance and effort never seen before.
    Within a short time, the Norske old timers had extinguished the fire and had
    saved the secret formulas. The grateful chemical company president 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 fire fighters.
    The local TV news reporter rushed in to capture the event on film, asking
    their chief, "What are you going to do with all that money?"

    "Vell," said Ole Larsen, the 70-year-old fire chief, "Da first thing ve
    gonna do is fix da brakes on dat darn truck!"
