In just a minute we'll move to the home of Tim Collins' rookie fireman, where Tim's mother is taking charge of the young firefighter, almost asleep on his feet, after the strain and excitement of his first real fire.

Chief Cody has a lot to tell, Tim's mother. But before we hear the chief, this is something else you ought to know. Let's go, firefighters! Let's go to the sidewalk in front of the Collins home, where you remember Chief Bob Cody has just brought Tim Collins rookie fireman to get a good night's rest.

Tim is face black with soot wrapped in a blanket to protect him from chill and exposure, leans whirly on Chief Cody's shoulders. They claim to me that. Oh gosh, your mom sees me like this, Chief Cody, all suit and smoke.

Well, here she is. Good evening, Mrs. Collins. See what I brought you. I brought Cody, it's you. Mom, don't you know me? Glory be it's not Tim. It's Tim alright home for me first fire.

Has he heard? Oh mom. How's it going? They're smoking your lungs. Oh, Mammy's in good health and good hands too now that he's home. Who come along in, Tim? Chief, help him over this threshold.

The boy's falling asleep on his feet. He's sleeping on Mr. Gums. He's washed clean as a lamb, tucked in like a baby, snoring like a buzz saw. Or a fireman, Mrs. Gums. You should hear the sleeping beauty course in any firehouse in the city when the third platoon is taking its rest.
