In just a minute, we'll join Chief Cody in his office at Fire Department headquarters, where the Chief is telling Jimmy and Trudy, Tim Collins' brother and sister, about the great fire that almost wiped out the city in the old days.

But before we drop in at headquarters, here is a message for you. Let's go, firefighters! Let's go to Chief Cody's office at Fire Department headquarters where the Chief is reliving for Trudy and Jimmy Collins an experience of long ago, the great fire that almost destroyed the city.

As you remember, Chief Cody has just explained. The big fire was a long time ago, kids. My own dad was only a lieutenant and an old three-one so can latter company and his driver. His driver was a young fellow named Tim Collins.

Yeah, your father's own father. And back in those days when the fire bells rang and all the church bells joined in to give the alarm, Tim Collins used to roll. We're coming in the mace, right?

You have? In the old days Chief Cody goes on with the story. In the old days when the city fire equipment was drawn by horses, The chief's father and Tim's grandfather were close friends, and one day as they sat talking in the wide doorway of the fire.

You're a heavy day, Tim. I don't like this wind blowing steady all day and all night, and yet the air's heavy. Ah, there goes a neat filly lieutenant. Yeah, not bad. Fix up your feet.
