One dark night in the small town of Buggabirra, WA, 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 brigades for miles around
When the first volunteer fire fighters appeared on the scene, the sausage company president rushed to the fire captain and said, 'All of our secret sausage recipes are in the vault in the centre of the plant
They have to be saved, so I will donate $50,000 to the fire crew that brings them out and delivers them to me.'
But the roaring flames held the fire-fighters off
Soon more brigades 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 firey's 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 Buggabirra volunteer fire brigade composed mainly of Aboriginal fire-fighters over the age of 65
To everyone's amazement, the little run-down fire engine, operated by these Aboriginal fire-fighters, passed the fire engines parked outside the plant, and drove straight into the middle of the inferno
Outside, the other firemen watched in amazement as the Aboriginal oldies jumped off and began to fight the fire as if they were fighting to save their own lives
Within a short time, they had extinguished the fire and saved the secret recipes
The grateful sausage company president joyfully announced that for such a superhuman accomplishment he was raising the reward to $200,000, and walked over to personally thank each of the brave elderly fire-fighters
A TV news crew rushed in after capturing the event on film
The 'on camera' reporter asked the Aboriginal fire captain, 'What are you going to do with all that money?'
'Well,' said Chief Billy Cokebottle, 'De furst ting we gonnna do is fix dem brakes on dat f%^n' fire truck!'
