Fire Fighters: Stopped and Chief Cody Offered Job

station. That's it. Let's throw! Firefighters, the true to life story of our unsung heroes. We stand ready to ride by day or night against our most murderous enemy, the demon of fire. In just a minute we'll go direct to the crest of Breakleg Hill, where Chief Cody and Tim Collins, rookie fireman, have just

been reunited after Tim and his boy companions were believed lost in the forest fire. Tim has brought new orders from the district warden. But before we hear them, here's a message. Let's go, firefighters. Let's go to the ridge on the crest of brake-leg hill, where chief Cody and Ellery Collins, commanding a force of volunteer firefighters, have made a final

stand in their effort to stop the raging forest fire before it can reach upper falls. Only a few minutes ago, you remember, the front line of flame reached the firebreak, the strip of land the firefighters have plowed up as a de-plant.

Well, this is the test gallery. If that flame crosses the fire bridge, we'll be done for. Upper falls will be destroyed right down to the last woodshed. Great blazing blisters. Can anything stop that flame?

It's like a wave of flame rolling quarters up the hill. We may have to run for it, chief. Get your men ready. Oh, no. Hold on, wait, gallery. I think that fire is beginning to fall back.

Yes. Yes, it is. It's dying down. We've stopped the fire. We've stopped again. We've won! You men! We've won! We've done it! We've stopped the fire! And as the battle swings in favor of the exhausted, smoked, grime volunteers on brake-leg hill, the District Warden of the Forest Service is fighting a battle of his own.
