PRODUCT SUMMARY
Meet Mose Humphreys, the toughest firefighter in the nation's toughest neighborhood -- the Bowery in New York City. As a boy, Mose's great size, speed and strength makes him one of the best fire company runners of all time, but he longs for the day when he can become a full-fledged firefighter. After joining Company #40 as a young man, Mose quickly becomes known as the bravest firefighter around. Whether scaling a burning building when ladders won't reach, rushing into a smoldering orphanage to rescue children or cleverly finding a way to squelch a massive fire when a pumper runs out of water, Mose is always willing to risk his life to save others. Part of the multivolume Greatest American Tall Tales & Legends DVD Series. A Teacher's Guide is included and available online.
