Fire Fighters: Barge Fire Is Put Out

I said, let's play setting fire fighters. The true to life story of our unsung heroes, who stand ready to ride by day or night against

our most murderous enemies, the demon of fire. In just one minute, we'll join Chief Cody and young Tim Collins on the deck of the fireboat, which you remember is faced with an extremely dangerous job.

The flaming oil barge that Mike Halloran tugboat has been trying to push away from the dock is now drifting dangerously free again after Mike had to back off when a ship caught fire. Well now it's up to Captain Jarvis and his fireboat to take over a job that threatens the life of everyone on board.

We will move into this thrilling situation in just a moment right after this important message. Oh, firefighters! Let's go to the deck of the fireboat where Captain Jarvis has just ordered Mike Halloran's tugboat to back away from the flaming oil barge after the tugboat's bow caught on fire.

Then, the surprise of everyone on deck, the captain calls out. Okay, this is where we move in. And by all hands, we're heading for the barge. But captain, I thought you said our boat wasn't powerful enough to push the barge against the tide.

And with those flames just turning deep, slack water now, in a few minutes you'll be going out. Yes, I know, but even so. We have to tie with us. I think we can hold that placing infernal from drifting down on the docks.

And maybe even push her out of this river chronic. If we don't catch fire like Mike did, that's the chance we've got to take. Our hull is steel, Mike's is wood. If you get caught, it's harder than a blast furnace.
