"The Boy Scout Fire Fighters" by Irving Crump is a children's adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows a group of young Boy Scouts from Quarry Troop No. 1 as they take it upon themselves to create a motorcycle fire department after witnessing the inefficiencies of their local fire brigade. Led by Bruce Clifford, the Scouts are characterized by their mechanical skills and adventurous spirit as they work together to form their own fire-fighting unit and face challenges along the way. The opening of the book introduces readers to the members of Quarry Troop No. 1, highlighting their dissatisfaction with the local fire department's performance during a barn fire. As the enthusiastic boys brainstorm ideas, Bruce suggests the formation of a motorcycle fire brigade, setting off a series of plans involving equipment gathering and training. The beginning captures the camaraderie and ingenuity of the Scouts, instilling excitement about their upcoming tournament and hinting at the adventure and mischief to come as they take on a significant responsibility in their town.
