If the chief is the boss that means he gets to push people around, right?
Lively, funny episode
A previous episode was "Beaver's Rat". Now we have "Beaver the Rat". Big supporting cast made this a lot of fun.

BEAVER ON FIRE!
One of those episodes even adults could relate to. How people change -- let alone classmates -- when they are put in charge!
Beave is officially elected Junior Fire Chief. And it really goes to his head, quicker than a wink. All about enforcing fire codes and handing out tickets --LOTS to his pals. This was also a full cast episode, featuring Gilbert, Richard, Penny and lovable Whitey. Whitey was always Beave's last resort friend, but not for long.
Burt Mustin naturally makes an appearance as wise, old Gus, the fireman, always willing to give Beaver some advice, if not the benefit of the doubt. Mustin began his acting career in the 50s, and made 14 appearances on the show, also several appearances at the time on Betty White's early tv show, DATE WITH THE ANGELS.
Another Dick Conway original, replete with some very funny lines. Conway was the best writer for this series, almost a prophet as to the types of awkward and realistic situations kids got themselves into.
Note, a very similar story (about 10 years later) was featured on the BRADY BUNCH. Bobby is elected school hall monitor and starts handing out tickets to everyone, becoming a social outcast.
From SEASON 4 EPISODE 34 remastered. For collectors, note the classic color cover.

(*Penny Woods quote*) - "Beaver Cleaver, you're a smelly, little skunk!"
As their most current civic project, the 5th graders at Grant Avenue Grammar School are holding a Fire Prevention Week. And (surprise! surprise!) Beaver has been elected as their Junior Fire Chief.
In between citing fire hazards and writing up numerous citations, Beaver lets his exalted position go straight to his head and, with that, he soon makes a real pest of himself.
But, Hey! Don't worry - After having a buddy-to-buddy chat with good, old Gus (Mayfield's auxiliary fireman), Beaver finally comes to his senses and proves himself to be the best Junior Fire Chief of all.
