And if you want to keep the batteries in
your smoke detector fresh, you just

change them every time that you reset
your clocks for daylight savings time.

Oh, you see, Billy, how much... Oh, no,
sweetheart.

These are not toys.

Fire safety is very important business.

That's why we have to act grown up here.

Geronimo!

We got to get one of those for the
house.

Can we go up there?

I'm sorry. The polls are closed.

Not really. The firemen are changing up
there. Half of them are running around

in their skivvies. Hey, get her out of
here.

Sorry, lady, but rules are rules.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I was just doing a bed check.

Well, at least this year I came down
feet first.

Peter, how'd you like to have your
picture taken with a real fireman? Gosh,

would I?

Oh, but let's let Billy go first.

Last month, Fireman Johnson rescued
three people from a burning building.

I'm sick.

Sorry, I don't mean to keep staring, but
why do you look so familiar?

Angela, the guy saves lives. He's a
hero. You've probably seen him on the

Or maybe it was the fireman's calendar,
August 89.

You were holding the hatchet!

Throw it in Mother's kitchen.

Anyway, I'd just like to say that you
guys are doing a terrific job, and if

there's ever a fire at our house, we're
calling you.

Thanks. You know, I've been watching you
all morning, and I like your

enthusiasm. Would you be interested in
joining our volunteer program?

Me? A volunteer? Me?

Really, me?

You already know what it's like down the
pool.

Sure, sure, but...

I don't know. I'm kind of busy, you
know, but I could juggle a few things.

No, Chief, maybe I shouldn't. Well, call
me if you change your mind. Okay.

Okay. All right, Billy.

Let's go find Mona. We'll get some
lunch.

Are you hungry?

Yeah!

Tony,

are you hungry?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Fire truck.

Ambulance. Fire truck.

Ambulance. You're going to need an
ambulance if you say it one more time.

Cup car.

Boy, that sounds like it's getting
closer.

I think it might be next door.

Sounds like it's coming from the
kitchen. No.

I did it. I did it. I cast the test. I
am now an official volunteer

fireman.

Oh, congratulations.

Just remember, you have to put your
trucks away when you're finished

Mona, Mona, I'm not playing, Mona. Oh,
hey, this is for you, pal of mine. All

right. Mona, after studying for a whole
month, I'm not fooling around. Let me

tell you something.

Fighting fires is serious business, huh?
Oh, look what they gave me.

A badge.

Look at this.

And then I got one of these lights for
the car, you know.

A beeper. A beeper. The men can reach me
any time, day or night.

What a concept.

Come on, Jonathan. Let's go play
firetruck.

You couldn't have become a volunteer
librarian?

Hi. Hi.

What is all that stuff?

This stuff is my equipment, Sam.

Your dad is a fireman.

Dad, I don't mean to be disrespectful,
but aren't you a little bit un -young to

be doing this?

You mean old?

No, Dad, I just don't understand why you
would want to do this. I think it's the

pole.

It's more than that.

Let me tell you guys a little story.

I'm nine years old, see?

And the house down the street catches on
fire. So I run down there, and I find

myself in the middle of flames and smoke
and confusion. It's like the whole

world is burning.

Just then, I hear somebody yelling,
Help! Help!

It's Mrs. DiBenedetto from her fifth
-floor window.

Okay? Suddenly, she disappears into the
smoke. I want to tell you, I was really

scared. I mean, it was like nobody on
the street could breathe.

Just then, out of the smoke and the
flames comes a silhouette.

It's a man.

It was a fireman.

And he's got Mrs. DiBenedetto in his
arms. See, she's crying.

But the place, everybody's cheering him
on, you know. And as the fireman passed

me, he says, Pretty hot in there, kid.

And that's why I want to be a fireman.

Okay.

Just do me a favor. Be careful.

Because you're still onion.

Oh, wow, wow. You think that's funny?

What, you're saying I'm old, too? Well,
could an old fireman do this?

I'm sorry, ma 'am. You're coming with
me.

Well, it's about time.

Hi, how you doing? I'm Tony Maselli. I'm
the new volunteer fireman. Oh, welcome.

Donut?

No, no, I'm in training.

For what?

I'm a fireman. Yeah, aren't we all?

Look who's here, the new guy.

Hey, I'm Sid, life insurance.

Sid, how are you? This is Jake, dry
cleaning.

Arthur, baby furniture.

And Clarence, athletic equipment.

Well, hey, I'm Tony, housekeeping.

Welcome anyway.

Well, isn't there something we should be
doing, like washing a truck or

exercising or bouncing quarters off our
beds?

Rookies, they're so cute.

Relax, Miss Sally. We're not here to set
the world on fire.

We just back up the regulars once or
twice a week.

Mostly, we get cats out of trees, test
fire hydrants, and hang around here and

have a blast.

Haven't you guys ever fought a fire? Oh,
yeah, yeah. What was it? Four or five

years ago?

It was that vacant lot. Luckily, we
knocked it down before it spread to the

adjacent vacant lot.

Great, that day. Weren't we, guys? Oh,
it was perfect.

Deal, you win.

No, no, no, thanks. I'm going to let the
chief know I'm here.

Okay, guys.

Come in.

Fireman Michelli reporting for duty,
sir.

Relax, Miss Ellie. You're not in the
army now.

Yes, sir.

So, welcome aboard.

Thank you, sir.

Have you met the guys?

Oh, yeah, I met them.

Do I sense a problem here, my son?

Oh, no, no, sir. It's nothing.

Come on now, son. You can talk to me.

Let's turn that frown upside down.

Well, you see, sir, this isn't exactly
what I thought it would be, you know.

Well, son, you can't expect to walk into
a... four -alarmer right away.

I mean, a big part of a fireman's job is
just to sit around and wait.

Well, I think you got the right guys for
that, sir.

Oh, I see what the problem is. These
guys don't exactly look like Fireman

Johnson. They don't look like Lyndon
Johnson.

You come with me, Miss Selly. I want to
show you these guys in action.

Lunch! No, no, no.

No, it's not lunch.

We're having a surprise stopwatch drill,
and it's starting now.

Come on.

Anybody see my boots? All right, I'm all
right, sir.

So,

um, what's their best time for this so
far?

Maybe these guys do need some shaping
up.

You think you could handle that, son?

Me? Yes, you.

I like your spirit.

I like the cut of your gym.

Thank you, sir. I like yours, too.

You bet your life I could handle them.
Are you kidding me? You won't recognize

them when I'm finished with them. I'll
turn them into a mean, lean,

machine.

I can cool them down when the
smoldering's hot. I'm the fireman.

That's my name.

They call me the fireman.

That's my name.

Making my rounds all over town, putting
out a whole thing.

Everybody like to have what I got. I can
cool them down when the smoldering's

hot. I'm the fireman.

We can't take it anymore, Chief. Tim
Ross, Tim Ross, you've got to go. My

used to be so happy. Now look at me. The
spark is gone.

Boys, boys, now just give him a little
time to settle down, and I guarantee you

he won't be so gung -ho.

Hey, guys, meet Sparky.

Sparky, meet the guys.

Silly. What's with the dog?

I noticed that morale was sort of
slipping around here. And do you know

guys?

That's right. We needed a mascot. So I
took all the money from the cookie kitty

and the bad word jar, and I bought
Sparky. Sparky, say hello to the chief.

Hey.

Good dog, this Sparky, isn't he? Hey, by
the way, he had a little accident on

the driveway, so keep your boots on.

Sally, could I have a word with you in
my office?

Alone?

Good boy, Spock.

All right, have a seat there, Mr.

Ellington. Yes, sir.

Now, there's a feeling around here that
maybe not all of us are on the same

wavelength. I know exactly what you're
driving at, Chief.

Oh, you do? Sure, sure. You see us all
working out, and you want to join in.

may I say so, sir, not a moment too
soon, because, hey, even at your age,

must want to get rid of those love
handles, eh?

You just helped me make a very difficult
decision.

I've decided to let somebody go.

No, Chief, don't do that. Don't do that.
Look.

Just tell me the name of the guy who's
not pulling his weight, and I'll have a

talk with him.

Miss Sally.

I know him.

He's not going to take this well.

What is this?

Oh, you got one of Tony's fire
violations, too.

Too many people in one room?

It takes at least seven people to play
Twister.

Please don't cite me. These smoke
detectors are ready to go back up.

I don't care.

What's wrong?

I got fired.

Fired? You were let go?

From a volunteer program?

striper. Hey, hit the bricks, kid.

Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I realize how
much this meant to you.

Hired from a volunteer program?

What a dweeb.

What happened?

They all turned on me, Angela. Every one
of them.

And all because I wanted it to be the
best darn volunteer fire department in

world.

I know, but do you think that perhaps
it's possible you went just a teeny wee

bit overboard?

Maybe a drop.

But they didn't have to take away my
badge.

I want to be Fireman Tony.

No, I do.

He's my Tony, so I get to be Fireman
Tony.

Kids, kids, why don't you go play
outside?

Kids. Oh, no, it's all right, Angela.

Come on over, boys. Come on over and
gather round.

That a boy. But let's not talk about
being a fireman.

Let's talk about dreams, huh?

What do you kids dream about being when
you're all grown up?

A fireman, like you.

Or actually not. Yeah.

Well, those are all fine dreams, boys.
Really fine dreams. And who knows?

Maybe they'll come true.

On the other hand, they could end up
being crushed like walnuts in a vice.

Obliterated, shattered.

Beaten to a bloody pulp.

They'll take everything from you and
leave you nothing.

Can you tell me some milk and cookies?

It's a good life lesson. Okay, you can
eat, Tony. No, you can eat.

You're not a fireman anymore.

Are you?

I'm sorry, kid.

Another donut, Clarence? Why, thank you,
Arthur. I think I'll have two now that

Miss Sally's not here. Uh -uh. You said
Miss Sally.

Excuse me.

You see, I'm looking for Chief Baxter.

The chief's busy right now.

Can I help you?

I'm Angela Bauer. I'm a friend of Tony
Maselli's. Oh.

Miss Bauer, maybe I can help you. I'm
Chief Baxter. Oh, yes.

Yes. Hello.

The reason I'm here is to ask you to
please give Tony another chance.

I don't think that would be a very good
idea, Miss Bauer.

Oh, but Chief, Tony loves being a
fireman.

See, he's wanted to be a fireman ever
since he was a kid in Brooklyn.

He saw this fireman carry his neighbor.

This is the Benedetto out of a burning
building.

Okay, so once in a while he gets on your
nerves, but that's just his boyish

enthusiasm. I have it too, but you don't
see me going off half -cocked.

Come on.

Come on, didn't you ever have a dream?

A dream that was so pure that it stayed
with you for years and years?

Well, Tony did.

And his dream came true.

His only mistake was pushing too hard to
keep it.

And when he came home and I saw that
look in his big brown eyes, my heart

out to him.

That was beautiful.

Really touching.

Yeah.

Whose deal is it?

You guys are silly.

Relax, guys. I'm just here to talk to
Angela.

Angela, Mona told me you were here. You
didn't have to do this. I can defend

myself. A leggy blonde never hurts.

Look, guys, I know I came on too strong.
I don't blame you for being upset. It's

just that sometimes I get... Oh,
Clarence, are you still eating donuts?

I mean, and you with the smoking, Jake.

There I go again.

Now I'm annoying myself.

What is that? It's a fire.

Wow, a fire. And they called us? Come
on, man, let's go.

Engine 27, ready to roll.

It's a Lexington Hotel, and it's a big
one.

Where's my helmet?

Here you go.

Thanks, Miss Sully. Sure.

Come on, Miss Sully.

Thank you, Chief, thank you. Can I
drive?

Here we go. Oh, my sandwich.

Quick, quick, turn on the TV. There's a
big fire downtown.

Since most of Fairfield's regular
firefighters are off battling a major

neighboring Bridgeport, all volunteer
units have been summoned.

See? This is what I was afraid of. I am
so glad Dad's not a fireman anymore.

Uh... Actually, I helped reinstate him.
He was on his way downtown

to the fire when I left.

Oh, no.

Way to go, Mom.

Let's go to the scene with action
reporter Lori Lee.

Firefighters are inside the hotel now
searching for guests.

Several barmen have been rushed to the
hospital suffering from smoke

Why didn't he listen to me? I begged him
not to do this.

Honey, I'm sure he'll be fine. Of course
he will. Your dad knows how to handle

himself.

Chief Baxter, I understand your
volunteer group has really distinguished

Well, actually, it was mostly the work
of one man whose superb physical

conditioning allowed him to repeatedly
climb the seven flights, bringing many

safety. Hey!

Oh, thank God he's safe.

Would you put me down?

You've already taken three victory laps
around the building.

Yes, yes, ma 'am. Sorry,

ma 'am.

You certainly are the man of the moment.
Well, I just want to say that I

couldn't have done it without my fellow
hose warriors, Sid, Arthur, Clarence,

and Jake.

Hey, boys.

Oh, and I want to say hi to Sam and
Jonathan and Angela and Mona.

I'm okay, guys.

And Billy, dreams do come true.

So, Farman Maselli, can you sum up what
were the conditions like inside that

hotel?

Pretty hot in there, kid.

You actually carried all those people
down seven flights of stairs?

Well, you know, Angela, when you're in
peak physical condition, as I am, you

do anything. Anything is possible.

Anything like this.

Uh -oh.

You're back?

Yeah. Wow.

Twice in the same week.
