Thieves stole the water out of an Albanian fire engine, thus preventing the safe extinguishment of a burning fish van |
AN Albanian fishmonger set fire to his van in a fit of anger after the national soccer team lost to the visiting Dutch side, and firefighters failed to extinguish the blaze because someone had stolen their water.
According to the Metro, Vilson Alushi had vowed to burn his fish-delivery van if Albania failed to win a point.
Alushi duly doused his car with gasoline in the centre of the southern town of Delvine and watched indifferently as his friends alerted the firefighters, newspapers reported.
They arrived promptly on the scene and unreeled the hose, only to find it was dry. It seems that residents living near the fire station had drained the tank to help them cope with Albania's chronic water shortage.
