Lateral Thnking

Here is a lateral thinking. If you think you have got it leave a comment and I will send you a comment back saying if it is right or wrong. Leave your blog address. I will put the anwser on at the end of the week.

Acting on an anonymous phone call, the police raid a house to arrest a suspected murderer. They don't know what he looks like but they know his name is John and that he is inside the house. The police bust in on a carpenter, a lorry driver, a mechanic and a fireman all playing poker. Without hesitation or communication of any kind, they immediately arrest the fireman. How do they know they've got their man?
