Fire Fighters: Jimmy And Tim Get The Valve Shut Off

Five bells, stand by all stations. Attention, all districts. That's it, let's go! Let's go, 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 a moment, we'll join Chief Cody as he directs the firefighters in their efforts to control the blazing furnace in the basement of a larger apartment house. We'll see why rookie fireman Tim Collins is thinking only of the danger of explosion, and how his young brother Jimmy is strangely enough the only one who can possibly avert this awful tragedy.

But before we move into the roped-off area for a close view of the action, here's a message you ought to hear. Let's go, firefighters! Let's move in past the huge hook and ladder truck at the apartment house.

Rookie Fireman Tim Collins stands near the street entrance to the basement, watching the smoke pour out. Jimmy and the gasoline delivery man Clyde who volunteered to go with him into the heat, fumes and smoke of the basement have reached the brick wall behind which is the oil tank with its dangerous mixture of gasoline. Clyde quickly climbed on a barrel, hoisted Jimmy

up to wriggle through the small opening and in that craft space with the roar of the blazing in the background Jimmy shouts down the client see that valve thing now just let me get over to it I'll turn it off and then no more gasoline into that furnace what kind of valve is it kid?

Gee I don't hold collided it's sort of like a little wheel set at the pipe well listen careful Jimmy turn that wheel to the right But I'm trying. I can't mean to turn it. I'm trying to try it until my hands are all screeching.
