In the quiet suburban town of Des Moines, Washington, a friendly rivalry brewed between the South King Fire Department and the Des Moines Police Department over coffee. Police officers frequently visited Fire Stations 66 and 67 for caffeine during their patrols, which led to the firefighters' coffee supplies dwindling. Captain Smith, known for his pranks, decided to teach the police officers a lesson. The firefighters drafted a humorous invoice listing absurd charges for "Copious Consumption of Coffee" and staged a fake arrest of a police officer for "non-payment of coffee debts." The officers, initially bewildered, burst into laughter when they realized they had fallen victim to the prank. The playful banter and good-natured ribbing strengthened the camaraderie between the two departments. From then on, the coffee pot became a symbol of unity and friendship, with firefighters playfully reminding police officers to bring their wallets for their caffeine fix.
