Walt Disney's Comics and Stories #9 (225)
In "Volunteer Fireman," Mickey and Goofy team up with the chief to uncover a clever ruse when a sudden flood threatens the valley. It turns out Skulk and Tiny are behind the disaster, using a dam to divert the river and cover up their secret gold mine claim—only to be outsmarted by Mickey’s quick thinking. Written by Carl Fallberg and brought to life with dynamic art by Paul Murry, this 1959 adventure blends humor and suspense, with Tony Strobl’s cover capturing the chaos in bold, energetic lines.

Mickey, Goofy, and the chief find that Skulk and Tiny are responsible for the valley's flooding by building a dam on the river just outside the sheer walls of the valley. Tiny is sent through what remains of the tunnel into the valley so that the chief can show him the location of the gold mine. Once Tiny stakes the location and writes down the coordinates, so that Skulk can file a claim, they "promise" to stop the flooding. Mickey has a plan to stop them.
