Bum Farto, the fire chief in Key West, Florida, was known for his eccentricities, such as wearing red suits and driving a lime green Ford Galaxy with a Yoruba shrine on its hood. He called himself El Jefe and was a Yoruba practitioner. Farto was involved in a fire at the Curry building, which he started and put out.
