Production

Emilie Johnson's original story, The Third Alarm, is reputed to be the basis for this film. Beyond the same titles, the only similarity these films have in common is - both stories are about firefighters.

The film's director Emory Johnson had filmed the silent version of this film in 1922 - The Third Alarm. The first film was distributed by FBO.

This film would be Emory Johnson's first release under his newly signed contract with Tiffany-Stahl Productions. This film is also Emory Johnson first talkie. This film would become Emory Johnson second to the last movie he directed before he faded from Hollywood.

A minor but quite significant news blurb appeared on Page 4 of the September 4, 1930 edition of Variety Magazine.

Emory Johnson, engaged by Tiffany to direct "The Third Alarm" on the strength of his silent film of the same title for FBO; has been off the picture since the first day's shooting. Martin Cohn, the editorial supervisor at Tiff, is finishing it, although direction credit will go to Johnson, besides a piece of the picture. Johnson objected to the supervision.
