Fire Fighters: The Fire Mystery pt. 2

Stand by all stations. Attention! All districts! The Five Alarm Fire! The true delight 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 Chief's office at Fire Headquarters, immediately after the mysterious fire in a home in the Cherry Lawn section, a fire of undetermined origin which began in a bathroom.

The blaze was soon brought under control. But from the worried look on Chief Cody's face, as he questioned Tim about it, a young rookie realized that there was more troubling the older man than just this one fire.

But what it was, Tim doesn't learn until he reports to the Chief at headquarters. There, he learns a startling fact. But more about that in just a moment, right after this important message. Let's go, firefighters!

Let's go to Chief Cody's office at Fire Headquarters, where the Chief has summoned Tim Collins after the Cherry Lawn Fire. A minor enough blaze in itself, but to the Chief an extremely baffling one. Just why it's baffling, just why it has him worried, the Chief explains to Tim as he spreads a large map on.

Mm, map of the city I see, sir. Yes, Tim. You see these little red crosses? Yes, sir. There's one, two, three... Eight of them all together. Sprinkled all over the city. Well, what do they mean, sir?

They marked the location of fires. Of eight different fires that have occurred during the last ten days. Well, there have been more than eight fires throughout the city in the last ten days, haven't there?
