Stand by all stations. Attention all districts of firearm fire. Inimidately, that's it. Let's roll, let's go. Presenting Fire Fighter. 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 to the scene of the mystery fire at the waterfront, where Tim Collins, rookie fireman and the Officer of Engine Company 209 are confronted with one of the hardest puzzles a fireman has ever called upon to solve, the problem of a fire they cannot locate, even though clouds of smoke betray its presence at some point unknown beneath the surface of the dock.

Before we join the search, here's an important message. Let's go, firefighters!
