Fire Fighters: Forest Fire Under Control

Stand by all stations. That's it. Let's... 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 to the ridge of Breakleg Hill, rising like a rock, above a sea of smoke from the forest fire. On the crest of the hill, Chief Cody and Ellery Collins lead the fight of the volunteer firemen against the conflagration that threatens to destroy upper falls. Before we join them, here is a message.

Let's go, firefighters! Let's go to the crest of brake-leg hill, where a line of weary men, armed with axes and brush hooks, 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, Fire Brigade. As chief Cody spies a dim figure coming tortons from the smoke.

Who's that? Ellery Collins? Yes, it's me, Chief. I suppose there's no sign of them yet. Jim and the boys, I mean. Not a sign. Well, Pete knows these woods like the back of his hand.

Does any way to escape that fire down there? Sure, sure. Besides, young Kim Collins is gone after there. But that boy is a born smoke eater. He'll find Jimmy and Pete's 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.

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