Brings back an old news story I heard 25 years ago from Minnesota or Wisconsin.

A Volunteer Fire Dept was testing out a newly refurbished pumper Truck on the local boat ramp at the lake when a poorly-set emergency-brake allowed the sparkling new machine to roll down in the water and flood out.

By the time they got another truck, wrecker and equipment there, a local News Team Action Cam showed up with video and microphone for a 6 o'clock News (slow-news day).

Among all the firefighters with their heads hangin' low, they found one whose helmet said 'Firechief' on it. The reporter asked "Chief, do you have any comments for our listeners?"
The Chief raised his head and looked off to the half-submerged truck and said,
"I am sure that 20 years from today, this will be a lot funnier than it is right now."

[In the meantime, God Bless our Firefighters everywhere. (yesterday was 8 years since 9-11 attacks here in USA.]
