| Summary | "Jack, the Fire Dog" by Lily F. Wesselhoeft is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around a courageous fire dog named Jack who faithfully accompanies the firemen of Engine 33. With a strong sense of duty and loyalty, Jack becomes a beloved character as he helps rescue a blind boy from a burning building. The opening of the novel introduces Engine 33, a well-kept fire station where Jack lives and works alongside the firemen and their horses. On a particularly cold winter night, the alarm sounds, prompting Jack and the team to spring into action. As they respond to a fire at a nearby theater, Jack demonstrates both his bravery and intelligence, ultimately rescuing a child trapped in the smoke-filled tenement. The chapter sets the tone for adventure and camaraderie, laying the groundwork for the bond between Jack, the firemen, and the blind boy he saves, who is later named William.
