[PIANO THEME BEGINS]

-[SINGING] It's a beautiful
day in this neighborhood,

a beautiful day for a neighbor.

Would you be mine?

Could you be mine?

It's a neighborly day
in this beautywood,

a neighborly day for a beauty.

Would you be mine?

Could you be mine?

I have always wanted to have
a neighbor just like you.

I've always wanted to live
in the neighborhood with you.

So, let's make the most
of this beautiful day.

Since we're together we might
as well say-- Would you be mine?

Could you be mine?

Won't you be my neighbor?

Won't you please,
won't you please?

Please won't you be my neighbor?

-Here we are neighbors, again.

I'm glad to be with you.

Did you see that helmet
that I brought in today?

Have you ever seen anyone
wearing a helmet like this?

It's made of very hard material.

And people who put
out fires wear these.

Think I'll just try this one on.

[PIANO MUSIC]

-I have some friends at our
neighborhood fire department

who loaned this to me so
I could show it to you.

They have lots of
other things over there

that help them with
their firefighting.

And they said I could
bring you, if you'd like.

So why don't we go together
to the neighborhood fire

department?

I surely hope that
one of the fire trucks

is there, so I can
show that to you, too.

We'll see lots of things.

And I'll take back
my borrowed helmet.

Come along.

[PIANO MUSIC]

-Excuse me, is
Captain Arnold here?

-Yeah, he's right
inside the door.

-Thank you.

-Sure.

-Captain Arnold?

Fred Rogers, here.

-Hi, Mister Rogers.

-Good to see you.

-How are you?

-I'm fine, thanks.

I'd like you to know
my television neighbor.

-Hi.

-Captain Arnold.

-Thank you for
loaning this to me.

-Oh, indeed.

It's my pleasure, Mister Rogers.

-I know you wear a
lot more than this

when you go on firefighting.

-Oh, yes, we do.

In fact, I was just going over
some of my protective clothing

and my protective
breathing apparatus.

-Could I see you put them on?

-Oh, absolutely.

-Are these the boots?

-Yes, sir.

These are the boots, our
protective boots that protects

us from the heat and
other items that we might

encounter in a bad,
bad environment.

-Oh, so you have the pants
right ready to pull right up?

Wow.

-Yes, we do.

-That's fast.

-And now I'm putting
on my protective coat.

-And I guess you have
to do that all yourself.

-Yes, sir.

-Each firefighter
drills in doing

this in a very quick
but effective way.

Now, I'm going to
put on my breathing

protection, which
we call our SCBA.

-SCBA?

-Yes, which stands for self
contained breathing apparatus.

-Oh, is that that
mask that you wear?

-Yes.

-I see, I see.

-In fact, Mister Rogers, would
you like to put on the mask?

-I would.

I sure would.

If you'd help me.

-I certainly will.

First, before we
put on the mask,

we put on our protective hood.

Now, this hood protects
the firefighter

from heat on the open
areas of the skin.

So let me put this over
your head and pull it down.

There we go.

Now, we're going to pull
it down around your neck.

And now we're going
to put the mask on.

This is your neck strap.

Put this on first.

Then I'm going to
ask you to put you

chin right inside
the mask for me.

There you go.

And I'm going to
tighten up the straps

so that it's nice and tight.

Once we do that, we
put the hood back on,

making sure that we cover all
the open areas of your skin,

and as well as
protecting you hair also.

So we make sure that
we protect everything.

Let me just do a
little adjustment here.

Alright, now we're going
to get your helmet back.

And we're going to put it on,
making sure that it's secure.

Now, in order for
you to breathe--

[WHISTLE]

[HIGH-PITCHED SIREN]

-Did you hear that noise?

-I did.

-OK.

This is telling me that now
we have air from our cylinder.

And now I'm going to
put it in your mask.

So, when I insert it,
you take a deep breath

and you can activate it.

You ready?

OK.

And breathe.

[TAKING DEEP BREATHS THROUGH
MASK]

-Now, you're able to breathe in
the atmosphere, or a location

that ordinarily you
wouldn't be able to breathe.

-I see.

This is serious business.

-Yes, sir, it is.

-And how do I look?

Do I look scary?

-Well, to someone who's not used
to looking at you like this,

you would look
very scary to them.

-But it's all right
if any person--

I mean a child or an
adult or any person

would come to me when
I come to get them.

-Absolutely.

This is what we encourage.

This is what we want.

[MISTER ROGERS BREATHING THROUGH
MASK]

-OK, now I'm going to disengage
your breathing mechanism.

When I pull it out,
I want you to hold

your breath just for a second.

And then once I disengage
it, take it out,

you can breathe again.

Ready?

Hold your breath.

OK, you can breathe again.

-Oh, thank you for that.

-You're welcome.

Now, I'm going to
take your helmet off.

We're going to take your
protective hood off.

And we're going to
loosen up your straps.

OK.

Yes, they're good and loose.

And I'm going to remove
it from the body.

-I always wondered what
that would be like.

-Now you get a hands-on feeling.

-I guess so.

Thank you very much for allowing
me to put-- Oh, this comes off,

too, doesn't it.

[BEEPING]

-Yes, it does.

-And what's that tweet, tweet.

-OK, this is what they
call an IPASS, which-- this

is a protective mechanism
for the firefighter.

If the firefighter
gets hurt at the scene,

then this will emit or
give off a loud sound

so other firefighters
can find the firefighter.

-I see.

But everything is
for safety, isn't it?

-Absolutely.

-Serious business.

It surely is.

And wonderful business.

-Thank you very much.

-I was wondering if I
could see the fire truck.

-Absolutely.

We've can go this way.

-Over here?

OK.

-Yes, sir.

-Oh, this is a beauty, Captain.

What are these?

-These are outlets.

The big outlets
are for big hose,

the little outlets
are for little hose.

-Big hose, little hose.

-May I step up here?

-Absolutely.

Be careful.

-I just noticed these.

What are all these levers for?

-Those levers are just
like off and on switches.

They allow the water
to go through the hose.

Or they will not allow the
water to go through the hose.

-Ah.

On and off.

-Yes, sir.

-It's a huge truck.

-Yes, it carries 500
gallons of water.

-In here?

-Inside.

-That's a lot of water.

-Yes, it is.

-May I see what's
around the back?

-Yes, you may.

-Wow.

Look at this.

Big hose that is.

-Yes, sir, we have
a lot of hose here.

-And what about this?

What is this for?

-Well, this is an inlet.

And with that inlet does is
allow us to use this big hose--

-I see.

-From the hydrant and
put it into this inlet so

we have a constant supply of
water going into the truck.

-Oh, so there's always
water filling up the truck

as you use the water
that's in there.

-Yes, sir.

-I see.

And that looks like a much
smaller hose over there.

-Yes.

The reason why this hose is so
much smaller than this is this

allows the firefighters
to get closer to the fire

in order to put it out with
the least amount of water.

-I see.

Boy, there's so much you
need to know about things

like that to be a
good firefighter.

-Oh, yes, sir.

-Captain, I wanted to
ask you what this is.

It looks like a boat.

-Yes, it does.

And I can see why
people would say that.

But, it is actually
a Stokes basket.

Let me put it down and
explain a little bit about it.

-A basket.

-We use this basket for people
who are injured in transporting

them from one
location to another.

-Oh, you mean you
lie down in it.

-We lie down in it.

Would you like to try?

-Sure, I will.

-OK.

Well, before you do, let me
call in a couple of my friends

and we'll prepare for you.

Firefighter Pinnix,
Firefighter Smalley,

could you give me a hand here?
-How do you do, sir?

Hi, Mister Rogers, how are you?
-Glad to meet you.

-Hi, Mister Rogers.

-How do you do, sir.

-OK, one of the first
things that we do

is we do try to make it
somewhat more comfortable,

placing a blanket into
the Stokes basket.

And once the
individual is inside,

then we secure them
with the straps.

So, the blanket is inside.

Would you like to lie down?

-Sure.

-We'll take you
for a little ride.

-OK.

Once you're lying
down, we're going

to secure you with the straps.

-That's comfortable.

-It's like a bed,
like a portable bed.

-OK, now we're going to raise
you up and take a couple steps

forward and a couple
steps backwards,

and then we'll lower you.

On three.

One, two, three, raise.

Couple steps forward.

OK.

Couple steps backwards.

OK and let's lower gently.

OK.

How was that?

-What a voyage.

Thank you very much.

-That's great.

Now, we're going to loosen up
the straps, undo the straps,

and permit you to get up.

-Oh.

Thank you, gentlemen.

There's so much to
know about your field.

I always remember when I
see a fire in the movies

or someplace, there are these
sirens and lights that go off.

Do you have that
on your truck here?

-Yes, sir, we do.

In fact, Firefighter
Lucia Lannon

is up front checking
over the truck.

Let's walk up and let's turn on
some of the sirens and lights.

-Alright, fine.

-Are the lights up above here?

-Yes, they are Mister Rogers.

Firefighter Lannon, let me
introduce you to Mister Rogers.

-Hi, Mister Rogers.

-Hello, Firefighter Lannon.

-Could do as a favor and
turn on emergency lights

and activate the
siren for us, please?

-Sure.

[SIREN WAILING]

-Oh, that's loud.

-Yes, they are.

-Thank you very much,
Firefighter Lannon.

-Thanks.

What is it that we need to
know about fire, that everybody

should remember about fires?

-Number one, we
should never play

with matches or
cigarette lighters.

Number two, in the
event of a fire,

we should never hide
under beds or in closets.

-Under beds or in closets.

-And number three, once
again, in the event of a fire,

once you are outside,
stay outside.

-Stay outside.

Thanks for your help.

-You're welcome, Mister Rogers.

-Good to be with you.

See you soon.
-See ya.

-Bye-bye.

Let's just go back to my place.

[PIANO MUSIC]

-Remember what
Captain Arnold said?

Never play with matches
or cigarette lighters.

And if there's a
fire, never hide,

just go outside
and stay outside.

Yes.

Very important.

You know, people
work at fire stations

so they can help
other people who

are having trouble with fires.

Aren't you glad that
there are people

who want to help that way?

I know I am.

The people who drive
those fire trucks

know exactly when to go
and stop and go again.

Let's do that with the Trolley.

Come on, Trolley.

[TROLLEY THEME]

-Go.

Stop.

Go.

Stop.

Go.

Stop.

We've been pretending that
Lady Elaine Fairchilde has been

trying to stop squirting
people with her Museum hose.

People don't like to be
surprised by a squirt of water

like that.

Let's make believe that
she's still working on that

as the Trolley goes into the
Neighborhood of Make-Believe.

Ready,Trolley?
[TROLLEY BELLS]

-Ready.

Neighborhood of Make-Believe.

[TROLLEY THEME, BELLS]

[SAYING HELLO TO TROLLEY]

-You are prepared,
Handyman Negri?

-Yes, Sire.

But, there are no fires here.

-Exactly.

Be prepared in case of fire.

Where will we get the
water if we need it?

-Ah, Fairchilde has a hose
at the Museum-Go-Round.

-That's right, she does.

-I suggest that you enlist her
service in our Volunteer Corps.

-I will do my best, Sire.

-A volunteer helmet
might do the trick.

-Yes, Sire.

Understood.

-Farewell, Firefighter Negri.

-Farewell, Firefighter King.

-Handyman Negri?

Are you a firefighter?

-I am.

Would you like to join
our volunteer company?

-Sure.

What do I do?

-Wear this helmet
and you help put

out fires in the neighborhood.

-The only fire I remember
in this neighborhood

was at Corny's factory.

-Would you tell him about
our volunteer fire company,

while I go talk to Lady Elaine?

-Sure thing.

Call me if you need me.

-Sure.

I would use this siren if I
needed to call the brigade.

-What's it sound like?

[PLAYING KAZOO]

-Where is the fire?

Where is the fire?

-Oh, I'm sorry King Friday.

There is no fire.

I was just showing this siren
whistle to our new volunteer.

-Ah, Volunteer
Aberlin, I presume?

-Correct as usual,
Volunteer Friday.

-You two may proceed
with your training.

Farewell.

-Farewell, King Friday.

-So, I'll go to the factory.

-And I'll meet you at
the Museum-Go-Round.

-Oh, don't tell me
we've got another fire.

-Oh, no, Corny, no.

We just wanted you to know about
our Volunteer Fire Department.

-Oh, that's wonderful.

I remember how helpful
everybody was to me that time.

Oh, fires are scary things.

-They surely are.

We just want to help
if anybody need us.

-How do you get one
of those helmets?

-Well, if you want to be a
volunteer, we'll get one.

-I'll think about it.

I'm still pretty
scared of fires.

-I can understand that.

But, please, call us
if you've ever need us.

-OK, then, Lady A. and thanks.

-You're welcome.

-Hi.

Where's Lady Elaine?

-She went inside
to get her hose.

-Here I am.

Oh, hello there, Lady A.

-Volunteer Aberlin
at you service.

-I'm not going to
squirt this hose

until somebody asks me to do it.

-Good for you, Lady Elaine.

-Say, do you ladies
smell something?

-What kind of something?

-Something like smoke.

-I think you've got smoke
and fire on your mind, Handy.

-Wait a minute.

I think I smell something
like smoke, too.

-You sure?

-I'm sure.

It's somewhere over that way.

-It's at the Platypus Mound.

Come on over her.

Is anyone in there?

-Lady Elaine!

Better bring your
hose, Lady Elaine.

LADY ELAINE: Here I come.

-Here's a note.

-Anna is away visiting friends.

Will be back in an hour.

Elsie Jean and
Doctor Bill Platypus.

Look at all that smoke!

-Where are the Platypuses?

-It says here away.

Come on, Lady Elaine,
squirt out the fire.

-Wait a minute.

[KAZOO SIREN]

-A real fire?

LADY ABERLIN: Yes, Sire.

-You volunteers may put it out.

-Well, somebody has to ask
Lady Elaine to squirt her hose.

-You may squirt your
hose, Fairchilde.

-Ready?

Get set.

Squirt.

[PIANO MUSIC]

-Excellent.

Excellent.

[EVERYONE CHEERING]

-What's happening?

What's happening, friend?

-The Volunteer Fire Department
has just put out your fire.

-We had a fire?

-Yes.

There was a lot of smoke.

And Lady Elaine Fairchilde
squirted it out.

-Oh thank you!

Thank you.

Thank you.

-Aye, what good
neighbors you are.

-I'll help clean up inside, too.

-Oh, you are a good neighbor.

-Back to headquarters,
Volunteers.

-Yes, Sire.

-This way.

[TROLLEY THEME]

[TROLLEY BELLS]

-Yeah, it was at
the Platypus Mound.

[TROLLEY BELLS]

-Yes, Trolley, a major
conflagration, of course, yes.

-Lady Elaine really put it out.

[TROLLEY BELLS]

[TROLLEY THEME]

[TROLLEY BELLS]

-So they were prepared.

And Lady Elaine used
her squirting well.

She's even helping with
the cleanup now, too.

I wonder what started that fire.

It was good that there
were neighbors looking out

for neighbors, that's for sure.

Let's give the fish
some food, here.

They're hungry.

[KNOCKING]

-Oh, there's
somebody at the door.

-Oh, it's Maggie Stewart.

Maggie.

-Hello, Fred.

-Welcome.

-Thank you, thank you.

I have a video tape here of
children playing and dressing

up in all kinds of
different outfits.

Would you like to watch it?

-I would.

Do any of the children wear
firefighting volunteer outfits?

-As a matter of fact,
several of them do.

-Oh, good.
-Let's watch it.

-Sure.

On Picture Picture.

-Oh yes.

-He'll show us.

-I like to see children
dressing up in different things.

-I do too.

-Let's look.

[PIANO MUSIC]

-That is very important play.

-Yes, indeed it is.

-Very serious play.

-They are some of
my good friends.

-Oh, they are?

-I thought you'd like that.

-Oh, you've made such a
great delivery for me.

-I certainly have.

And I know the Speedy Delivery
song in sign language.

-Oh, could I see it?

-I'd love to do it for you.

-Thank you.

-[SINGING] If there's
anything you want,

if there's anything you
need, McFeely's Delivery

brings it to you
here with speed.

-What is that?

-This is the sign for speed.

-Speed.

-It's like pulling the reins
back on a horse and buggy.

-Oh, speed.

-Speed.

[SINGING] Yes, our
Speedy Delivery

is a speedy delivery,
speedy delivery to you.

-Oh, could I try some
of that with you?

-Yes, please.

-[SINGING] If there's
anything you want,

if there's anything you
need, McFeely's Delivery

brings it to you
here with speed.

Yes, our Speedy Delivery
is a speedy delivery.

Speedy Delivery to you.

-Oh, thank you for that.

-Very good.

-What a good speed delivery.

-Well, I must be on my way.

And thank you for
having me today.

And we'll see you next time.

-Thank you very much, Maggie.

How do you say goodbye
in sign language?

-Goodbye.

-Goodbye.

-Goodbye.

-Either hand?

-Either hand.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

For now.

-For now.

-Alrighty.

-Thanks again, Maggie.

-See you next time.

-Bye-bye.

What a great neighbor she is.

I loved seeing those
children dress up.

Do you ever dress up?

Mhm.

There are many helpful people
in this world, aren't there?

The more you grow into a
helpful person yourself,

the happier you will find
this world of ours is.

[PIANO MUSIC]

-[SINGING] It's such a good
feeling to know you're alive.

It's such a happy feeling,
you're growing inside.

And when you wake
up ready to say,

I think I'll make
a snappy new day.

It's such a good feeling,
a very good feeling,

the feeling you know that's I'll
be back when the day is new.

And I'll have more
ideas for you.

And you'll have things
you'll want to talk about.

I will too.

-I'll be back next time.
