Boss

Junior firefighter "Boss that hose bridge is for cars"

Captain "I do not care, the instructions say that if a hose has to cross any road it has to be placed"

Junior firefighter "But that is not a road, it is a rail track!"

Captain "If the superintendent decides that the railroad is a road my ass will not be in the line, so place the damn bridge!"

Road bridge

How dumb! Then the road that crosses just beyond the tracks has no bridge over it. Double dumb!

A joke...

Joe, I've seen this photo on facebook and allegedly it is a joke, the firefighters were conducting a drill and the rail line is out of use, so it is just for laughs... but it was only about a week later than it was posted here...

...the 'posted on Facebook' part...note nobody is facing the camera, and there is no visible ladder company identification on the back of the fire truck.
