Fire Fighters: Tim Collins' First Day on the Job

stations. Attention, all districts. That's it. We're fighters! The true to life story of our unsung heroes who stand ready to ride by day or night against our most murderous enemy, the demon of fire!

In just a minute we'll bring you the story of a rookie fireman's first fire and a thrill-packed ride on the giant aerial truck on firefighters. But first, here's the message we hope you find exciting too.

Tim Collins, an XGI and the son of Ben Collins, fire fighter hero, years ago lost his life in the line of duty, had just completed the training course for rookies, has been assigned to the relief squad to await his first call.

It's mid-winter and a snowstorm has been raging all day as Tim returns home. Hi Mom! Is dinner ready? I'm starting. It's time you want to freeze the snow off and shut the door quick. Okay Mom.

There. There. Well, that's better. Goodness, it must be down to zero. Oh, pretty near, mother. It was too above an hour ago and I say it's going to five below by morning. Hi. Hey, but say, let's not talk about the weather.

What I'm interested in is food and lots of it. You're always interested in food and lots of it. You just have to wait a few minutes. Trudy and Jim aren't back from skating yet. We'll eat just soon as we get in.

Oh, hello children. Hi, Mom. When do we eat on stars? There's another one, Mom. Hi, Jimmy. Hi, Trudy. Why can Betty want me to go to the show with him? Yes, dear. Everything's ready to put on just as soon as you watch.
