Maitland, Robert
The Boy Scout Fire Fighters; Or Jack Danby's Bravest Deed
Produced by Al Haines
"The Boy Scout Fire Fighters; Or Jack Danby's Bravest Deed" by Major Robert Maitland is a children's adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Jack Danby, a young Scout who, along with his troop, finds himself in a high-stakes situation as they work to combat a spreading forest fire that threatens nearby farms. Throughout the narrative, the themes of bravery and teamwork within the Boy Scout framework are prominently displayed. At the start of the story, the Thirty-ninth Troop of Boy Scouts is camping near a wood when they notice a dangerous fire in the distance. Jack, the main character, is tasked by their Scout-Master to assess the situation. As he and his friend Pete approach the fire, they encounter indifferent farmers who do not heed the danger. After reporting back to the troop, Jack and his fellow Scouts rally together to fight the fire, leading to a series of courageous and resourceful actions to save the surrounding area. The opening sets the tone for themes of camaraderie, responsibility, and the spirit of scouting as they prepare to confront the fire's threat. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
