The municipality whose fire department I belong to tried to remove the suds. Years ago many of the members would have a brew or two after a drill with their pizza. Nearly none do now in this day and age. We were allowed to keep the beer in the firehouse in a locked refigerator in a locked room.

I hope the U.S. Senate doesn't need to find private insurance. If there's a drinking contest between Teddy and a firehouse I'll take Teddy and give the pints ...
