Fire Fighters: Chief Cody & Tim Try To Catch False Alarmers

Stand by all stations. Attention, all districts, a five-arm fire. That's it, let's go! Let's go! Presenting firefighters, the true-to-life story of our unsung heroes, who stand ready to ride by day and night against our most murderous enemy, the demon of fire!

In just a minute, we'll join Chief Cody in his grim search for Paul Caton-Scrubby, the two hoodlums who are squaring up a fancy grievance against the fire department, and especially against Tim Collins. by pulling a night long series of false alarms.

But first, here's something you'll want to hear. Oh, firefighters, let's go to the location of Box 115. Where as you remember, Chief Cody is just held a hasty conference with Tim Collins.

A moment ago, Tim said, a Chief Cody, these false alarms are timed just right. How do you mean, Collins? Well, now look, the first was tapped in from Box 112 at 12 minutes before 1 o'clock this morning.

Right, I've looked at the report. Right, and since then, Chief, every eight or ten minutes, another false alarm. Just in time to catch us as we roll back to the fire station, or, if not, as soon as we get back to bed in the dormitory.

It's criminal, Collins. Bad enough, Chief, if we had an accident on one of these runs, maybe put an engine out of action or injured some men? I know, Collins. I can't think of anything worse than an accident on the way to a false alarm.

Well, sir, we take that risk on any run we make, but suppose a real emergency came up. Somebody really needed us when we're answering one of these fake calls for help. It could happen, Collins. It's been known to happen.
