| Summary | "The Young Firemen of Lakeville; Or, Herbert Dare's Pluck" by Frank V. Webster is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book follows a young boy named Herbert Dare, often called Bert, who is eager to help during a fire emergency in his small New England town of Lakeville. The story explores themes of bravery, camaraderie, and the importance of community involvement in times of crisis, particularly through the lens of childhood. At the start of the narrative, the residents of Lakeville are awakened in the middle of the night by the cry of "Fire!" as they rush to respond to a barn fire threatening local livestock. Bert's mother expresses her concern for his safety as he insists on joining the bucket brigade to help extinguish the flames. As the fire consumes the barn, Bert demonstrates leadership and courage by organizing efforts to rescue the trapped animals inside. This thrilling scene sets up his determination to form a structured fire department composed of boys in the village, illustrating both the excitement and responsibility that come with youthfulness and the desire to protect one's community.
