    “The fire department must have been freaked out when the reports kept coming in closer and closer to the station.”

    The call was coming from inside the station!

    I can see the logic used here, he came literally to the wrong conclusion but it’s a funny story since no-one got injured and it’s a gift to the fire service’s public outreach department to educate people on what not to do.

      Oh, yeah this is great cause it went about as well as it possibly could have while being absolutely ridiculous.

      But he drove his Fire Truck to the station. Can see where he thought that was right but somehow was really really wrong.

      Yeah the entire time I was thinking… I wonder if the fire would have went out by now if he just stopped fanning the flames

        It wouldn’t. It’s a food-truck, it’s full of flammable stuff.

      For reference, the Japanese equivalent to the ice cream truck blasting music to attract kids is the roasted sweet potato truck singing “yaki imo” which literally means “roasted potato”. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0_IwZxOfdk&pp=ygUOWWFraSBpbW8gdHJ1Y2s%3D
      This one must have been some really heavy metal style.

        Roasted sweet potato . And it’s a strangely haunting-sounding song. I always loved hearing it despite not liking sweet potatoes.

          I really dislike anything sweet potato, but, at least to me, yaki imo is really good.

      He was leaving treats for all the cold boys and girls in the form of FLAMING POTATOES! So the spreading is really a gift if you think about it.

    It’s like driving your car to the nearest mechanic when it breaks down! “So, how soon can you take a look at it?”
