19世纪，南达科他州戴德伍德镇发现黄金，吸引了许多心地善良或心怀叵测，但都一心想发财的人，进而使它被称作是“胆小鬼绝不敢动身前往，不中用的则死于途中”的地方。

但是在戴德伍德镇，最出名的歹徒一直是一样东西：火灾。

小镇建筑在峻峭的山坡上，下面深谷蜿蜒。

假如发生火灾，这山谷就成了个烟囱，把火焰一直吸上房屋。

在我们这个时代，大火再一次威胁过这个小镇，有一些废纸在山谷脚下焼着了，然后大火就熊熊而起，不到一小时，火焰就穿过屋顶，大风在森林中呼啸而过，几乎把火焰引到了小镇的边缘，受到惊吓的居民们准备离开，他们尽量多带一些财物。

街头到处都是衣服堆得高高的卡车。

风向在变化，卡车也不断被迫改变撤退的线路。

消防队员们奋不顾身地与火搏斗了24小时，最后飞机也用上了。

飞机开始用火轰炸大火，这样才阻止了大火的蔓延。

大火开始减势，离开的人们回家了。

他们看到山谷是黑黑的一片，但是他们的房屋依然存在。

戴德伍德镇及时从它最险恶的敌人手中得救了。
