Through the Flames (1912)

The wife of an engineer is dangerously ill. A telegraphic message comes from down the road announcing that a village is threatened with a forest fire and the lives of the inhabitants are endangered. There is no one else to man the engine and he goes. The driving of the engine through clouds of smoke, the burning of the telegraph office and the mad flight of the frightened villagers all combine to introduce a realism that holds the interest from start to finish. When the engineer returns from his perilous trip through the flames he finds his wife much improved in health and receives the plaudits of his kind neighbors. He is presented with flowers and obliged with an impromptu speech of thanks.
