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.
