On a scorching Texas ranch, Hank takes charge as Head of Fire Safety. With the threat of prairie fires looming, he battles hunger and boredom to protect the land. As the heat rises, will Hank's vigilance be enough to save the ranch from disaster?

From the publisher

The weather on Hank’s West Texas ranch is hot and dry. So dry, in fact, that they’ve got to be on the lookout for prairie fires. So Hank bravely takes on the role of Head of Fire Safety and gets to work. But patrolling for fires is dull, and it’s hard to do on an empty stomach. Despite a minor culinary distraction, though, Hank through grit and determination is able to keep focused on the job. And it’s a good thing he does, because sure enough, things on the ranch start to heat up….
