Fire Bug aka The Fisherman And The Firebug

The Warrior of the Woodland! Ranger Bill, Warrior of the Woodland, struggling against extreme odds, traveling dangerous trails, showing rare courage in the face of disaster, in the air, on horseback, or in a screaming squad car.

Ranger Bill, his mind alert, a ready smile, unswerving, loyal to his mission. And all this in exchange for the satisfaction and pride of a job well done. Do you know what a firebug is? Well that's a person who likes to start fires because there's something wrong in his mind that makes him want to see things burn.

It looked for a time as though the village of Nadi Pine in the surrounding countryside might be plagued by one of those persons. But right now, boys and girls, suppose you join Ralph and myself as we're riding along a mountain stream, not very far from Naughty Pine.

Sure is dry, isn't it? Yeah. Even this stream would probably be dried up if it weren't spring fed. Dry as dry season I've ever seen. Be a good time for a fire. A bad time, you mean, Ralph?

Oh, yeah, Bill. You know what I mean. Yeah, I know. Hey. What is it, Bill? You smell smoke? Yeah, now that you mentioned it, I think I do. It's over this way. Come on. There it is.

A campfire. Must be some study fellas. Not on a fishing trip. Whoa, Scott. Oh boy. Hi there. Hi. I am Bill Jefferson. This is Ralph Dawson. We're Rangers, I'm not even. Well, I'm Denali, I'm Bruce Hilton.

My buddy over there, that's Rex Simpson. Hi. from the city? Yeah. Just grabbed a few days off from work to come out and try to catch some of your fish. Well, have fun. But be careful with your campfires.
