Fire Fighters: Chief and Tim Have Idea to Haul Water

I've bell stand by all station attention all districts. That's it. Let's roll. Let's go. Fire fighters. 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 join Tim Collins, rookie fireman, in the office of Chief Cody, where Tim has gone to get the Chief's advice on how to help his cousin, Chief of the Upper Falls Volunteer Brigade, combat the destructive fires that are devastating the countryside.

But before we join Tim, here is some information you'll want to hear. Let's go, firefighters! Let's go to Chief Cody's office at Fire Department headquarters, where Tim Collins, who has just hurried into town from the village of Upper Falls is in conference with the chief.

Only a moment ago, you remember, Tim was admitted to the chief's private office. Private Collins reporting, sir. Collins, what are you doing in town? You're supposed to be on furlough. Well, I think I have the key to that situation at Upper Falls chief.

Sit down, boys. Sit down. Thank you, sir. Collins, I didn't expect you to report here in person when I tried to call you at the farm. You phoned me, sir? Yes, your brother Jimmy took the call.

That's funny. He didn't give me any message. He said something about a fire said an alarm had been rung in. Oh, oh, yes, yes, Chief. The schoolhouse was on fire. I came direct from the fire, left cousin Ellery trying to find out what caused it, and I haven't seen Jimmy since then.

I suppose the schoolhouse was a total loss, Colin. No, sir. No, sir. For once, the upper falls engine got there on time. Well, that's progress. But what about water, Colin? I understand the wells and ponds are going dry.
