Fire Fighters: Jimmy and Tim Get the Valve Shut Off

Stand by all stations. Attention! Attention! Let's throw our 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 a moment, we'll join Chief Cody as he directs the firefighters in their efforts to control the blazing furnace in the basement of a larger Parpen House.

We'll see why rookie fireman Tim Collins is thinking only of the danger of explosion and how his young brother Jimmy is strangely enough the only one who can possibly avert this awful tragedy. But before we move into the rope-dough area for a close view of the action, here is a message you'll want to hear.

Let's go, firefighters! Let's move in past the huge hook-and-latter truck at the Aparphone House. Rookie Fireman Tim Collins stands near the street entrance to the basement, watching the smoke pour out. in the gasoline delivery man Clyde who volunteered to go with him into the heat, fumes and smoke of the basement have reached the brick wall behind which is the oil tank

with its dangerous mixture of gasoline. Clyde quickly climbed on a barrel, hoisted Jimmy up to wriggle through the small opening and in that crab space with the roar of the blazing furnace in the background Jimmy shouts down to Clyde. I see that valve thing now. Just let me get over to it.

I'll tuck it off and then... then no more gas so we get into that furnace. That? What kind of valve is it, kid? Gee, I don't hold collided. It's sort of like a little wheel set in the pipe.

Listen, careful, Jimmy. Turn that wheel to the right. But... I'm trying. I... I can't seem to turn it. What? I'm trying to... try it until my hands are all screeched. It just won't turn. Well, take a good look at that valve with your flashlight.
