five bells stand by all stations attention all districts a five alarm fire five bells move in immediately that's it let's go let's go fire fighters their fighters 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 minute we'll take you to the scene at the waterfront where Tim Collins Rookie Fireman and the Officer of Engine Company 209 are hastening along the dock. Their eyes are fixed on the point where smoke puffs out from the oil-soaked planking.

But before they can reach that spot, here's a message you'll want to hear. Let's go firefighters! Let's go to the waterfront where a wooden dock as long as a city block juts out from shore and a cloud of smoke shows that fire somewhere below is eating through the oil-soaked timber.

Just a moment ago, as you remember, Lieutenant Greenspan ordered Tim Collins... Rookie of Fireman. All right, Collins, you'll serve as pipe man. Break out that cello pipe. Yes, sir. Who can order you with a pry bar?

Coming up. I want you to rip up those planks for the cello pipe. Right away, sir. Ready with the cello pipe, Lieutenant? In order, Antler. Attach it to the hose line in place of a regular nozzle.

Drop it down through a hole in the dock and let her go. That's right. Chances are we can't get that firehead on. But the cello pipe will shoot water anywhere under the dock up or down right or left.

They've got the hose lined out, sir. Alright then, shoulder that pipe and let's go. Hey lieutenant, there's trouble here. Ah, there'll be trouble if I don't get that hole I ordered. I can't find a hot spot.
