Fire Fighters: Tim Trapped, Puts Out Fire

I've bells stand by all stations. Attention, all districts. Inimmediately, that's it. Let's roll. 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 minute, we'll go straight to the Green Hills District, where Tim Collins, rookie fireman disguised as a disreputable tramp, seeks a solution to the problem of an outbreak of grass fires that threatened to cause terrible destruction if they cannot be stopped.

But before we join Tim Collins in his investigation, here's something you ought to know. Let's go, firefighters! Let's go to the hillside where Tim Collins in tattered old clothing with grease smeared on his face keeps watch outside the shed in which tons of dangerous chemicals are stored.

Unknown to Tim, two members of the gang of boys he hopes to encounter are snug in a cave the gang is scooped from the sandy soil beneath the shed. The two boys, Red and Sandy, have spotted Tim who lies on the ground pretending to sleep, while in the faint light of the cave, Sandy complained.

What are we going to do now, Red? We can't get out of the cave now without old tramp sleeping outside. I know. As long as we have to stay here, let's roast the potatoes. In here?

Start a fire in here? Why not? We get plenty of firewood. Look, we bury the spudges in the sand and throw the fire on top and they'll roast better in home in the oven. We better be careful.

We don't want to burn up our whole wood pile. Oh, we'll be careful, all right. Don't want it. I'd bury in this, but... Sandy covers the potatoes with sand, piling an arm full of twigs and sticks above them, and red strikes a match.
