Summary
A humorous short story follows two men who borrow a fire engine and a pair of helmets for a trip to Springfield, treating the rig as a ride rather than a response to an emergency. As they drive through towns, the siren and red vehicle cause confusion, send people into the streets, and attract volunteer firefighters and police who think they are heading to a fire. The story centers on their improvised journey and the comic misunderstandings it creates along the way.
