Transcript

Stand by all stations. Let's roll! Presenting firefighters, 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 move direct to the corner of Broad and Main, where Tim Collins' rookie fireman is calling for a ladder to rescue a panic-stricken woman from the second floor of a blazing tenement building.

She threatens to jump, but Tim is calming her with his voice. We'll get back to Tim in just a moment, but first we take time for this message. Let's go, firefighters! Let's go to the rear of the burning tenement at Broaden, Maine, where you remember Tim Collins has been sent to check up on the situation.

The night is black, but he can see the buildings adjoining the tenement stand much too close for safety. And a moment ago, as he turned to hasten back to the front of the building to report this fact, a window is flung open on the second floor just above where Tim now is.

Oh, good grief, this is a tough one. These buildings are jammed together, they could burn like a box of matches. It's alright, madam, we'll get you out. Why the hell did you fire me down?

No, don't throw that, whatever it is. No, no, don't throw it. Oh, I caught it. Could it? Grief. Well, what do you know? It's alright, man, I caught you baby. Hell, I'm going to jump.

No, no, wait, if you jump, you'll hurt the baby. I'll hurt the baby. Yeah, yeah, that's right. Now listen to me. Listen, you wait. We'll get you down. We'll get a ladder, you understand? Yes, yes, yes, yes.
