 Let's go, firefighters. Let's go to the meadow near the barnyard of Ellery Collins, cousin of Tim Collins, rookie firefighter. As you remember, Tim and cousin Ellery have left the farm at top speed in response to the alarm of fire in Midland Woods. And they left behind them, asleep under a tree in the meadow, Chief Cody himself, comfortably dressed in his oldest clothing, enjoying his first holiday in years. Until just a moment ago, Chief Cody was roused by a distant sound.
