What happens
Ranger Bill and his colleague Stumpy face a dangerous forest fire in a dry spring. The fire threatens a dynamite plant run by Stan Woods, who had repeatedly put off clearing the brush and grass around his storage caves despite Bill's warnings. Bill and his crews work to contain the fire as it spreads toward the plant. The episode is from the Ranger Bill series, first aired on May 22, 1957.
A dry mountain forest and a nearby dynamite plant, with a ranger station, fire towers, and an airfield.

Listen for: The forest fire spreading toward the dynamite storage caves, and Stan Woods' admission of his procrastination.
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.
