Firefighters

1940s radio drama about a US fire crew
from archive.org

"Firefighters!" was a 140 Episode, 15 minute daily, syndicated serial-drama, depicting the lives of neighbouring 'Plum Valley City' firefighters. Centered around the life of new firefighter, Tim Collins, & his firefighting comrades, most episodes followed fire-related mysteries, which included the research, interviews, & detective work involved in achieving a solution to the cause of each fire.

Addressing the hazards of fire and the excitement involved in the lives of the unsung hero - your local firefighters - "Firefighters!" is the perfect program to share with your children and your grandchildren.

* NOTE FROM THE EDITOR:
Many years ago, a friend of mine, a retired firefighter, emphatically stated to me: "I wasn't a FIREMAN! I didn't MAKE fires, I FOUGHT them; I was a FIREFIGHTER!!"

I doubt I will ever forget that statement nor will I ever again use the word FIREMAN. You probably never will again, neither. :)
