Fire Fighters: Campaign to Obtain New Firefighting Equipment pt. 1

All stationed! Attention! Attention! Let's- 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 Chief Cody and Rookie Fireman Tim Collins in the town of Plum Valley where they have joined with their host, the editor of the local paper, in his fight to make the people realize their desperate need for basic firefighting equipment and trained men.

A long series of fires started through ignorance or carelessness and allowed to get out of control because of an inefficient volunteer system, as put many people on Tom Culpeper's side, but not the all-important president of the town council who seems blind to the danger facing the town.

Well, the fight is in the open now, as you will see, right after the following message. Oh, firefighters! Let's get over to that house where the crowd had rushed when a small porch fire had broken up the meeting of the town council.

Editor Tom Culpepper had proved his point about trained firefighters when his friends Chief Cody and Tim Collins had gotten the fire out before Turner Lawson and his volunteers had even arrived. Now as the crowd breaks up, it's obvious to Tom that no amount of reasoning or example will change the stubborn opposition of the president of the town council.

the chief and Tim stand by uneasily, as their friend makes his declaration of war. I believe the average citizen of this town sees the need we face for decent safeguards against fire losses. Suppose you leave that to me, Culpepper.

But you're supposed to represent the people. Not that I think you do any longer. And what do you mean by that? I'm going to suggest they throw you in your whole slate out of office on election day, day after tomorrow.
