In the mean time, a Chinese man who owned a restaurant opposite the warehouse offered his services, grateful for an extra pair of hands, the firefighters obliged. The Chinese man was delighted, for he'd always wanted to be a fireman. He was even given the protective clothing, a hat and a fireman's jacket. So he set about tackling the blaze, firing jets of water.
The Fire Chief arrived, and consulted his men about the plan of action, and how many men had arrived from surrounding counties. He noticed the Chinese man fighting the fire, and walked up to him. He was very curious as to how this small oriental man became a fireman.
"Where are you from?" he asked.
The Chinese man responded, "I from Peking, in China!"
The Fire Chief was astonished.
"Jaysus, that's marvellous. Fair play to ya! Sure, the help from Cork hasn't even arrived yet!"
