Fire Fighters (film)

The kids organize their own fire department and unwittingly thwart a group of bootleggers.

• There are a total of ten children in the fire department: two girls and seven boys. There are three regular actors — Ernie Morrison, Allen Hoskins and Jackie Condon —and one regular actress, Peggy Cartwright. There are also four additional boys and one other girl. There is some conflict concerning the identity of these last five child actors and actress.
• This Our Gang entry marks the debut of Allen Hoskins, who portrayed the character "Farina" until 1931, making him the longest tenured member of the gang.
• Plot elements of Fire Fighters were reused in The Fourth Alarm (1926) and Hook and Ladder (1932).
• When television rights for the original silent Pathé Our Gang comedies were sold to National Telepix and other distributors, several episodes were retitled. This film was released as The Mischief Makers in 1960 under the title Little Firemen: two-thirds of the original film was included. The film was also released as an episode of the series Those Lovable Scallawags With Their Gangs under the title Fire Works. Among the scenes deleted were the opening animal sequences; most of the inter-titles were left intact.
