Putting out the fire

[KG6AML]

There's this oil well fire, so they call Red Adair, and ask how much it will cost to put it out. Red, being the world-famous guy that he is, rattles off a number that's much too expensive, so they end up going with one of his cheaper competitors.

The guys show up, get briefed, and then drive their truck right to the heart of the fire. There they stop, and all the guys jump out and start stamping on the fire! They do this long enough---and what do you know---they put out the fire.

The oil well crew is just completely awestruck, and one asks the head fire-crew guy if he's off to celebrate another job well done.

The fire-chief guy replies, "Hell no. First thing we're gonna to do is fix the brakes on the truck."
