The Fourth Alarm is a 1926 short silent comedy film directed by Robert F. McGowan.[1] [2] It was the 53rd Our Gang short subject to be released.[3] It was later reworked in Hook and Ladder in 1932.
This is Mary Kornman's final Our Gang appearance as a child. She would appear again later in several episodes as an adult.
The group establishes their own junior fire department by repurposing an old barn into a firehouse. However, when they are called to a real fire, they encounter challenges, particularly Farina, who struggles to manage the high pressure of the fire hose.
