Summary "An Amateur Fireman" by James Otis is a youthful adventure novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Seth Bartlett, a determined fourteen-year-old boy with aspirations of joining the Fire Department. Despite being a bootblack living in a shed, Seth spends his time learning everything about firefighting, eager for the day he can officially call himself a fireman. The beginning of the novel introduces us to Seth and his friend Dan Roberts as they engage in a discussion about Seth's ambition to become a fireman, despite the skepticism of Dan. After a series of events that highlight Seth's resilience and perspective on life, including the tension created by a boy named Jip Collins who threatens to set fire to Seth’s living quarters, the narrative sets the stage for action and challenges ahead. This portion establishes Seth’s character and determination, giving readers a glimpse into the adventures and trials he will face as he works towards his goal amidst the backdrop of his humble living conditions and friendships.
