Thinly fictionized fact book about the function of the fire department, which should prove popular with small boys who are fascinated by anything to do with the fire house and its gang. Danny watches the men he admires after he has turned in the alarm, and Jo-Jo, an unusual parrot, plays a lively rols in the little story. But the emphasis is on the factual aspects simply explained, and competently illustrated in red and blue drawings by the author.
