Porter's sequential continuity editing links several shots to form a narrative of firemen responding to a house fire. They leave the station with their horse-drawn pumper, arrive on the scene, and effect the safe rescue of a woman from the burning house. But wait, she tells them of her child yet asleep in the burning bedroom . . .
