Fire Fighters: The Motion Picture Mystery pt. 2

I fell, stand by all stations. Attention, all districts of five armed fire. Feli, that's it, let's go! Let's go! 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, Tim Collins, and Jimmy at the scene of the mysterious fire in the film storage wall at the Central Newsreel Company. Jimmy and Tim had gone there to pick up some film for showing at Jimmy's school.

While the newsreel manager John Gillette was giving them a behind-the-scenes peak at the newsreel business, flyers suddenly broke out among the highly inflammable film stored in the company's vaults. Well, when we left them last time, a very significant fact about the fire had just come to light, which I'll remind you about right after this important message.

Let's go, Firefighters! Let's go to the central film building where Chief Cody and the men of Engine Company 3-1s have just joined Tim Collins and Jimmy at the scene of the blaze in the film's storage ball, a fire that could have spread rapidly through the highly combustible film that had not been promptly discovered.

John Gillette, manager of the central newsreel company which owns the balls, is deeply mystified as to the cause of the blaze. Right now I was telling Chief Cody, it baffles me, Chief. I can't believe that any of my men were careless enough to drop a match or a lighted cigarette in a film vault.

Why? I, I, I, can vouch for the fact chief that Mr. Gillette observes all the fire regulations. He was a victim of a disastrous film fire once himself and is particularly careful. And still, Mr. Gillette, you say the door to the film vault was open.
