This is an old story, but I like it to remind me why I should have my car in
good running condition all the time.
One dark night outside a small town near Washington DC area, a fire started
inside the local chemical plant and in a blink of an eye it exploded into
massive flames.
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 MFK rural township volunteer fire company
composed mainly of very young MFK(ers).
To everyone's amazement, that little run-down bought used 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 MFK youngters jumped off right
in the middle of the fire and fought it back on all sides using their well known expertise with the use of water in emergencies.
It was a performance and effort never seen before. Within a short time, the
MFKer 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?"
"Well" said Li Mah Hung the young fire chief, "Da first thing we
gonna do is fix da brakes on dat focking truck!"
