Fire Fighters: Grain Ship Fire

Five bells, stand by all stations. Attention, all districts, agreed. That's it. Presenting Fire Fighter, 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 see Tim Collins in action aboard the Auxiliary Fireboat, the Eustice Tea, which you remember Chief Cody has assigned Tim to place in readiness to meet any threat of fire along the waterfront or among the ships lying at anchor.

But before we join Tim Collins, here's a message for you. Let's go firefighters. Let's go aboard the auxiliary fireboat, used as tea. The powerful tugboat, which was in refitted with pumps and hose outlets, deck pipes and other firefighting equipment, to serve as a floating fire engine.

Not long ago, you remember, Tim Collins reported to Chief Cody. The boys are catching on fast, Chief Cody. Can you speed up that training schedule, Colin? Oh, I can't if you say so, Chief. I think you'd better.

We need fire protection along the waterfront. We want that fireboat ready, Colin. And I'm counting on you to see that we get it. And Tim pitched in to ready the crew of the used-to-stee for action, explaining to Captain Juggle.

Now, remember, Captain, 90% of the time your boat is a used-to-stee. Just one more tugboat. What do you mean one more tugboat? I see the flagship. He's the powerfulest tuckiness tow boat in a tentacle fleet.

I know, I know. But when you get a call on that shortwave radio, when you hear that alarm from the fire... Hey, hey, hey, that's the radio now. Fire the bomber calling engine 210. Fire the bomber to engine 210.
