Billy FairfieldMayor BroadbeamMrs. Broadbeam

Billy Fairfield's first day with the volunteer fire department goes about as smoothly as you'd expect—chaotic, soaking wet, and hilariously out of control. When a real fire breaks out at the Mayor's house, Billy must actually put his clumsy training to work, though his talent with a fire hose proves to be equal parts disaster and unlikely heroism. A perfect little laugh about learning on the job, 1948 style.
