Summary "Tom Swift Among the Fire Fighters; Or, Battling with Flames from the Air" by Victor Appleton is an adventure novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story follows Tom Swift, a talented young inventor, as he confronts a dangerous fire stemming from a fireworks factory. Accompanied by his friend Ned Newton, Tom rushes to the blaze, where he is faced with not only the flames but also the potential impact on his loved ones, particularly Mary Nestor, his fiancée. At the start of the book, Tom and Ned are reviewing financial accounts when they are interrupted by the commotion of a nearby fire. They learn that a fireworks factory is ablaze and quickly decide to investigate. Tom's concern heightens upon realizing the fire poses a threat to Mary's neighborhood. As they navigate to the blaze in Tom's fast electric runabout, they witness explosions and chaos, illustrating the peril of the situation. After reaching the scene, Tom's rescue instincts take over when he learns that people may be trapped in the burning building, setting the stage for his innovative response to fire fighting, ultimately suggesting that he may develop a new aerial fire-fighting apparatus.
