Fire Fighters: Forest Fire Under Control

Stand by all stations. That's it. Let's go! Presenting Fire 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 move to the ridge of Breakleg Hill, rising like a rock, above a sea of smoke from the forest fire. At crest of the hill, Chief Cody and Ellery Collins lead the fight of the volunteer fireman against the conflagration that threatens to destroy upper falls.

Before we join them, here's a message. Let's go, firefighters! Let's go to the crest of Breakleg Hill, where a line of weary men, armed with axes and brushhooks, fire rakes and shovels, is toiling at desperate speed.

Urging the volunteers on, our Chief Cody and Tim Collins' cousin Ellery, Chief of the Upper Falls, Pyre Brigade. As Chief Cody spies a dim figure coming Tordin through the smoke. Who's that? Ellery Collins? Yes.

Yes, it's me, Chief. I suppose there's no sign of them yet. Tim and the boys, I mean? Not a sign. Well, Pete knows these woods like the back of his hand. Does anybody escape that fire down there?

Sure, sure. Beside young Tim Collins is gone after them. But that boy is a porn smoke eater. He'll find Jimmy and Pete there, sure. Well, there is a chance for them. There's always a chance.

I hope that fire is slamming fast, Chief. She's reached the steepest part of the hill. Now, look here, Ellery. I feel about young Collins and those boys. Well, I feel as badly as you do.

But we've got to stop this chorus fire. We've got to save up her falls. You're right. We can't stand here, mourning over personal matters. What's to be done, Chief? How's it going at your end of the line?
