Firefighters 140 Eps


(5 stars; 2 reviews)

(140 Episodes) "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. :) OTR * def gp ddh

Reviews

A great children's serial


(5 stars)

Our family really enjoyed this series aimed at "junior firefighters", and had interesting talks about the differences between that 1950s culture and ours. We hope you find more of these episodes :)
