Fire Fighters: Chief Cody on Vacation

Stand by all station. Attention all district. That's it? That's it? 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 moment we'll join rookie fireman Tim Collins as he stands at the window of his bedroom on the second floor of his home staring down in amazement at the scene in his backyard.

This morning, he had taken his young brother Jimmy to the training school probationary fireman, as Chief Cody had suggested, after the two boys had helped solve the mystery of the mattress fires. But even the thrilling demonstration of a scaling ladder in action, which he and his brother had witnessed, hadn't prepared him for the scene in the

yard below. But we'll come back to Tim and take a look down there ourselves in just one minute. Oh, firefighters! Let's join rookie fireman Tim Collins as he leans quietly and unobserved out of the open window on the second floor of his face reflecting both surprise and disapproval as he watches his young brother Jimmy in his

pal Jack Carson below. He's thinking it's lucky their mother isn't home at the moment and he's wondering what Chief Cody would say to the results of Jimmy's visits to the fireman's training school, for he can see what his young brother is making and he doesn't have to be a mind reader to know what the youngster intends to do with.

You couldn't use this lot of your making Jimmy and if you asked me it isn't one or all. It's a scaling ladder. Walking a ladder has two poles, and it's got a rungs fixed between them so you can climb up it.
