Fire Fighters: Fire in Baggage Area of Plane

station. Attention! 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 Tim Collins and Chief Cody in the cabin of the big plane that's flying westward toward Plum Valley, where they plan to visit an old friend of the Chiefs, Tom Culpepper, owner and editor of a weekly newspaper.

Both the Chief and Tim feel the need of a vacation, and they're looking forward with warm enthusiasm to the holiday in the little town. As night came on and the chief dozed in his seat, Tim was tersely summoned to the pilot's compartment by Lance Lorenzo, the chief pilot. For what strange reason we'll learn in just a moment right after this message.

Let's go, firefighters! Let's join Chief Cody and Tim Collins in the cabin of the big four-moted plain that is carrying them westward to Plum Valley for their holiday visit with the chief's old friend, country editor Tom Culpepper. Fire and firefighting are the farthest from both their minds as completely relaxed the chief doses in his seat and Tim gazes out the porthole at the night black and sky in the stars.

Suddenly his attention is drawn from the porthole by the opening of the door to the pilot's compartment. The face of Captain Lorenzo the chief pilot appears lined with anxiety. He beckons to Tim who rises and goes poor to the open door. Did you want me, Captain? Yes, Collins. Chief Cody, I see he's asleep.

Well, yes, he dozed off a little while ago. Awaken him. Tell him I want to see him. Why? Is there something I haven't got time for questions now? Just awaken him, please. Tell him I want to see him immediately. Yes, sir. Well, in Collins. Do it as quietly as possible.
