What happens
Phil Harris, back home after a trip to Washington with Alice Faye and their children, is told by the town council that a new volunteer fire chief is needed after a fire destroyed the public library's reading room. Phil eagerly accepts the post and tells his friends Frankie Remley and Curly about it. Alice is less certain about her husband's qualifications. The series The Phil Harris Show aired on NBC on January 30, 1949, starring Phil Harris and Alice Faye, with Elliott Lewis and Gale Gordon also in the cast.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
