Reminds me of the time the Germans bombed Belfast (which, of course, is
in Northern Ireland.)  The Irish Free State (now the Republic of Eire)
was neutral.  But someone burst into Eamon DeValera's office (he was
Prime Minister of the IFS) and shouted "Belfast is burning!"

DeValera ordered every fire brigade in the IFS across the border.  The
Cork Brigade dashed the length of Ireland, sounding their sirens and
ringing their bells -- and met the Dublin Brigade coming back.

"Yez can gwan home now.  Th' fire's out."

The Cork men threw off their coats and beat the Dubliners to a
fare-the-well, to teach them to leave a little fire for others next
time. :-)
