Fire Fighters: Barge Fire Is Put Out

All station. Attention! All districts! Attention! Let's play, 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 one minute, we'll join Chief Cody and young Tim Collins on the deck of the fireboat which you remember is faced with an extremely dangerous job. The flaming oil barge that Mike Halloran's tugboat has been trying to push away from the docks is now drifting dangerously free again after Mike had to back off when his ship

caught fire. Well, now it's up to Captain Jarvis and his fireboat to take over a job that threatens the life of everyone on board. We will move into this thrilling situation in just a moment right after this important message.

Let's go, firefighters! Let's go to the deck of the fire boat where Captain Jarvis has just ordered Mike Halloran's tugboat to back away from the flaming oil barge after the tugboat's bow caught on fire.

Then the surprise of everyone on deck the captain calls out. Okay, this is where we move in. Stand by all hands, we're heading for the barge. I thought you said our boat wasn't powerful enough to push the barge against the tide.

And with those flames. Just turning cheap, slack water now, and a few minutes she'll be going out. Yes, I know, but even so. If we have the tight with us, I think we can hold that blazing infernal from drifting down on the docks.

And maybe even push her out of this river trapping. If we don't catch fire like Mike did. Well, that's the chance we've got to take our hull of steel, Mike's as wood. It'll get hot, hotter than a blast furnace.
