HlELLO. EVERYBODY:
Well, sir, we ail know that firemen run into lots ol
adventures. That's all part of a fireman's job. When the
gone; starts tapping out a signal?well?there's darned well
likely to be an adventure at the end of the trip?for somebody.
And ten chances to one that adventure falls to the
lot of some smoke-eater who goes in with a hose and slays
there long after everyone else is out. But today I'm telling
you a fireman's story of an adventure that didn't happen al
a fire.
William McQueen, of Valley Stream. Long Island, is the lad this ad
' venture happened tn. Up to a certain point, this story is just !i!:e anj
other fireman's adventure yarn. II started in with the usual alarm, am
the truck rolling out to respond to it. Bjt as a rule the truck gets to the
fire before the adventure starts. In Bill McQueen's case. Old Lady Ad
venture swung her haymaker a few minutes earlier than is her custom
and Bill lipd hi.-, adventure on the way to the blaze.
Bill is a member nf the volunteer tire department out in
I Valley Stream. His dad is alsa a member of the same oulfi'?
; and the way things turned out, that is a lucky break for Bill.
They are both attached to the Engine Company Number 2, and the
d. te of Bill's adventure is one lie doesn't think he'll ever forget.
It was December 29. 1911.
The alarm came from somewhere out on the north side of the town
The men M C >y 2 began a scramble for the fire house. In no linn
at all. twenty men had gathered, and the truck rolled out of the engint
house with all o: them aiv ,rd.
It Hnjt-jcticd crt r\ Busy Frhway.
Tiie truck ran d?v.n the s> and made ? turn. It was necessarj
for them to go through, a side street in order to reach the neighborhooc
of Hie fire. And half v.ay down the side street, they had to cross Mor
' rick road, a main trr/ie art:ry that ran through the town, and one ..
the busiest hi dvyevs m Long Ts'.md.
The truck plany.d on down that street, with its siren screaming
The driver was l . to beat i' -- whole dir. 7-no world to Hint fire. I'm

' '- \ . ,: *" ?;^?-Headfirst
Over the Top of the Car He Went.
no matter hoc hard a f liow trie---, there always comes a time when hi
has to fail, and this was one of those times. Track Number 2 didn't boa
anybody to that fire on that December day. As a matter of fact, i
didn't pet th 're at all.
The truck was approaching Merrick road and the driver began slov,
Ing down, ile had to make a left hand turn on .Merrick and he fc: gai
throttling down his motor so he could mala: it on nil four wheels
The engine cainc to the inter; ecti in. "And it wa. at this p ;:ik " sa.v:
Bill McQueen, "that I got my :irsi glimpse of the thing that was !::;e!;
to be the cause of my death!"
Down Merrick road, about a hundred feet to the left, was a
railroad crossing, and beyond that was a speeding ear. hurtling
along toward the (ire truck at a speed of forty or fifty miles an hoar.
Bill got a quick glance at that car, and it didn't take him any time a
all to figure cut that that car couldn't possibly stop in time to avoii
hilting the truck. It was just a question 01 wncrc 11 mi ui? uui..
Bill had his qualms about that, too.
How E'H Figured His Jump.
Bill was standing or, the running board, en the left side of the truck
Next to him was a large battery box. and behind him. between the bai
tcry box and the large rubber suction hose that is carried on all fire cr
gincs. stood Bill's dad. Bill gauged the speed with which the two ve
hiclcs were going with another lightning glance, and as he did. h
came to another terrifying conclu ion. As near as he could figure out
that oncoming car was going toh.it the truck just about at the spot wher
he was standing!
The human mind works with the speed of lightning, and it didn'
take Bill more than a couple of seconds at most to come to that cor
elusion, but that speeding car was moving almost as fast as a man'
mind can think, and a hundred feet or so is no great distance. The ca
was almost on top of him now, nr.d there was neither the time nor th
opportunity to get off that running board and out of the way. And it wa
then that Bill's mind did some more fast and furious thinking.
"There I was," he says, "directly in the path of certain death,
could jump oil the truck and take my chances on being able to dodg
that car. or stay where I was and trust to luck that I might come out alive
Either way, 1 couldn't sec myself having much of a chance. Bi
there was a third Course of action I could take. It was more daring tha
the other two, bift I decided to try it.
DttiFs Shove Helped a Lot.
"As the car roared onward, I braced myself on (he running
hoard and began timing the speod of its anproach. When it was
about three feet away, I leaped for my life!"
Straight ahead. Bill jumped?right over the top of the car. As h
took oft into the air he felt a violent shove. His dad had reached out wit
his hand to give him a little extra impetus. Head first over the top of tha
car he went, and Bill had reason then to thank his lucky star that car;
in this day, are built low and close to the ground. For he just did clear if
Behind him he heard the crash, as he tumbled over the car an
landed in the road r.n the other side. He picked himself up dazed, an
with a bruised knee, but otherwise unhurt, and looked back at the ruin
of the fire truck. The ;;ar. wt.oe he had been standing was smashe
to bits!
"When I looked at that mass of twisted and bent metal." Bill say;
"I couldn't help thinking what wouki have happened to me if I'd rentaine
there."
