In Case of Fire

by Walter Kellogg Towers

About this book

Two young men borrow helmets to match the fire engine they plan to drive to Springfield for a holiday trip. Their unusual transport soon attracts more attention than either the reporter or his companion expected.

A real fire, an argument with the police and a series of mistaken impressions turn the journey into a comic adventure. The explanation of their actions brings official thanks, an unexpected sale and a firm decision about the trip home. This is the complete September 1928 story.
