Fire Fighters is a syndicated radio show that depicts the thrilling and suspenseful stories of American firefighters battling their most destructive enemy, the demon of fire. The show follows the adventures of rookie firefighter Tim Collins and fire chief Bob Cody, and brings attention to the unsung heroes who are ready to ride day and night to protect lives and property. The drama-filled episodes are inspired by true stories and actual cases, offering a unique insight into the realities of firefighting, without focusing on the horror or supernatural elements. In addition to entertaining audiences, Fire Fighters strives to raise awareness about fire safety through its exciting narratives and by forming a Firefighters Club, where children can learn more about firefighting techniques and earn badges for their knowledge in fire safety.

The show, produced by William F. Holland Productions, Inc., was initially aired in 1948 and continued to broadcast into the early 1950s across various markets coast-to-coast, including cities such as Portland, Omaha, and Washington, D.C. Fire Fighters, which starred Cameron Prud'Homme and Lyle Sudrow, was later sponsored by Grandma Cookie Company, and a variety of other sponsors. It was also appreciated by local fire departments across the country for promoting fire safety and publicizing modern firefighting techniques. This captivating 15-minute daily show provided an excellent source of entertainment for children while educating them about the hardworking individuals dedicated to combating fire and its potentially devastating effects.

Performers: Cameron Prud’Homme, Lyle Sudrow
