Fire Fighters: Quick Burner Adventure pt. 1

Five bells, stand by all stations. Attention! That's it, let's go! Presenting 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 a moment, we'll join Tim Collins' private gonergo and the rest of Engine Company 209 as they relax around the firehouse, waiting for the next signal to summon them to duty. You know the life of a fireman isn't all sirens and excitement and long hours of smoke and heat.

There are occasions working around the fire station when they have time for the lighter things of life, time for a little fun and laughter. But regardless of how much they relax on the job, they're always prepared to roll, always ready to ride with the speed of the wind of the scene of the

next fire. And it just happens that Tim's next fire, about which he knows nothing at the moment, is one of his most adventuresome. We'll learn about it right after this important message. Let's go, firefighters!

Let's go to the engine house of old 209, where we find Tim Collins and his buddy, Private Goneco, in a very relaxed mood. It's been slow in their district the past 24 hours, without a single fire to take them away from the station.

But they know as well as anyone that such a state of affairs can't go on forever. But while at last, they're taking advantage of it. What does a fireman do when he isn't fighting a fire?

Well, let's drop in on the boys and find out. Jim? Yeah, yeah, I gotta go. Sometimes I wonder about the fire service. Yeah? What do you mean? You wonder. It's that. Here we've been spending all day at this sort of thing, you know.
