Y'a pas le feu... (1985)
Directed by Richard Balducci

Film Synopsis

In the wake of a series of arson attacks, all seemingly perpetrated by the same unknown individual, the enterprising mayor of a small French town creates a volunteer fire service, recruiting five young men eager to serve the community.  The latter refuse to put out a single fire unless the lovely Maryline is allowed to join their ranks.  One of the new recruits decides to use the fire engine as a means of transport to get him to a party, but on the way back he abandons it in the open countryside.

The mysterious arsonist then steals the fire engine and uses its ladder to gain entrance to a woman's house.  When the fiend is arrested he turns out to be none other than the chief fireman.  Naturally, when this news gets out the mayor has no choice but to disband the fire service, but having done so his own house suddenly goes up in flames.  Meanwhile, the dismissed volunteer fire fighters are amusing themselves at the cinema watching, would you believe it, The Towering Inferno...
