The Fire Chief's Daughter (1910)

The chief of the fire department has a beautiful daughter for whom he has hopes of a wealthy and advantageous marriage, but contrary to prearranged plans of this kind, Ellen has given her heart to a young fire laddie, and much against her father's will, marries Jack Lowney. This so enrages the old fire fighter that he turns his back on his daughter and son-in-law and will not be reconciled. Now the unexpected happens. Jack is put to a test and proves his worth. The Chief's residence burns and he and his wife are saved from a fearful death by the heroism and self-sacrifice of the boy whom they have despised. Reconciliation follows. The situations are thrilling and wonderfully real. The fire department of the great city was enlisted for the production and the hazardous life of a fireman is vividly portrayed in this wonderful film story.
