[Piston] "Cliffhanger"

The new Fire Tower on

Hatchback Hill is finally open!

Wanna check it out?

You know it.

I just hope Piston's done

with his safety checks.

He's had all morning to do them.

Of course, he'll be done.

I'm not done with my safety checks.

[groans]

How many do you have left?

Man, too many.

I just have to check that my

turn signals are working,

and my windshield wipers,

tires, brakes, horn

But it's the Fire Tower's

grand opening today

and they're letting people go

up and look out for fires.

Can't you do your

safety checks later?

Bo. Safety should always come first

and second and third.

You all know that keeping

Safe is my number one rule ♪

My safety list

I check, check, check ♪

To make sure

Things are cool ♪

But as we hit the open road

And take off in a burst ♪

Just remember we must

Always put safety first ♪

Safety first ♪

[honking]

Hey there Zip

Before you turn ♪

There's something you must do ♪

Look left, look right,

Look left again ♪

No cars should be in view ♪

Then flip on your turn signal ♪

Just like you and I rehearsed ♪

And remember we must

Always put safety first ♪

Safety first ♪

[honking]

Safety first ♪

And second and third ♪

Showing kids to pay attention ♪

Is my favorite skill ♪

Like teaching them to stay away ♪

From a hot picnic grill ♪

By following the safety rules ♪

We help prevent the worst ♪

So let's remember we must

Always put safety first ♪

Ooh, I can see

the Fire Tower.

We're almost there.

[vrooming]

Whoa! That was unsafe.

Hold on, I'll be right back.

Iggy! Rod! Pull over!

Whaddaya want, Piston?

We're kinda in a hurry.

That's the problem.

You're driving way too fast.

[scoffs] You're too young to

give out speeding tickets.

It's not a ticket.

It's a list of driving safety rules.

Like "obey traffic signs."

That one means "be careful,

the road ahead is very curvy."

We know what it means.

-We just don't care.

-[chuckles]

-"Safety rules."

-[chuckles]

Yeah, who needs safety rules!

-[yelping]

-[tires screeching]

-Whoa!

-Ahh!

[all gasp]

You guys okay?

We're stuck on a ledge.

What do you think?

You could've warned us

about the curvy road.

I did!

Yeah, but we weren't listening.

So are you gonna

rescue us or what?

What's the magic word?

Abracadabra?

Please

We're on it!

Huddle up, Firebuds!

So how do we get 'em

off that ledge?

We can use my winch

and towline.

I'll toss it down to them

and Axl can pull 'em up.

Perfect.

[grunts]

Wait! The cliff edge

looks crumbly.

You should back up, Axl.

Remember, safety first.

But we don't know how long

the ledge will hold up

under all that weight.

We gotta pull them up fast.

Bo's right. Let's do this.

Rod! Attach the hook to your bumper!

[both] Whoa!

-[all gasp]

-No!

Jayden, be careful!

Whew! They're okay.

They landed on the ledge

with Iggy and Rod.

That doesn't sound too okay to me.

I told you the edge

was crumbly.

Here's your towline back.

Okay, Firebuds.

We need a new plan.

Ooh, Bo! I can use

my hose to pull 'em up.

Great idea, Flash.

I'll extend my ladder

and you lower the hose.

Yeah, we're gonna have you

rescued in no-time

[Piston] Wait!

[both] Whoa!

[sighs] What now?

All those kids

and cars will be heavy.

Flash, you should brace your

wheels with wheel blocks.

What're wheel blocks?

Heavy blocks you put

in front of your tires

to keep from sliding.

I'm a big, heavy firetruck.

I don't need 'em.

You do today. Hold on,

I've got some in my trunk.

[sighs]

I know they're in here somewhere.

Ooh, are those sandwiches?

Emergency sandwiches.

Uh, the ledge is cracking!

We can't wait anymore.

I'm with ya.

Here they are

[gasps] What are you doing?

You need the wheel blocks!

Grab onto Flash's hose

and we'll pull you up.

Okay, Flash. Retract the hose.

♪♪

Uh-oh!

[gasps]

Uh, try backing up!

[grunts] They're too heavy!

-Whoa!

-Ahh!

They're okay.

They landed on the ledge.

I still don't see how

that makes them okay.

-Hey, watch the fender!

-Yeah.

[rumbling]

Buds! I don't think the ledge

can hold all of us much longer!

We gotta get 'em off that ledge, P.

But how? All I have is

safety equipment

and sandwiches Jayden!

I'm just fueling up so we can use

my grappling hook to rescue them.

-Whaddaya think, P?

-That should work

as long as I use

my wheel blocks

and they come up one vehicle at a time.

-Safety first.

-I hear ya.

Operation J-Hook is a go.

All right! We're gonna

tow you up but

you have to do it

one vehicle at a time.

Here comes the hook!

Got it!

Here, you go first, Axl.

Then you can help Piston

pull the rest of us up.

No way. We've been stuck down

here the longest.

We should go first.

Yeah!

Here we go

-Whoa.

-Whoa!

Feels heavier than one

vehicle at a time

[gasps]

The ledge is looking worse.

We better jump on, too, Flash.

-But Piston said

-He'll be fine. We gotta go!

Too much weight!

Whoa!

Piston!

Ahh!

[grunting]

[Bo]

You okay, Piston?

Well, I've been trying to get

you to do things

the safe way all day

but you didn't listen

and now we're all in danger

and I'm out of emergency sandwiches.

So no, I'm not okay.

-He's got a point.

-Yeah, worst rescue ever.

[sighs] I'm sorry, Piston.

I was in such a rush

to rescue everybody,

I didn't put safety first.

Glad you agree. Finally.

But I can't hold onto this rock forever.

So if anyone has any

safe rescue ideas,

I could really use one.

Right. How can we help Piston back up

when we're all down here?

Hmm. Well, I can extend my

ladder to get Bo up to Piston,

who can lift Bo back to the clifftop.

But what do I do

once I'm up there?

Ooh. You can take Axl's towline

and wrap it around something sturdy

so she can pull herself up.

And then I'll pull up everyone else!

Wham, bam, perfect plan. Let's roll

Wait! Piston, does that plan

sound safe enough to you?

Thanks for asking.

Make sure your safety belt

is securely fastened.

You got it.

Okay, Flash. Lift me up.

We gotta wrap this around

something sturdy.

Okay, uh what about that tree?

Let's use one further

away from the edge.

This time we're putting safety first.

[Bo] Now let's get Piston!

♪♪

We gotta use wheel blocks

to keep you from sliding.

Now pull!

[grunts]

[pants]

Remember, only one car at a time!

You guys go first.

Obviously.

[rumbling]

Took ya long enough.

You could say "Thank you."

-We could.

-Thanks, I guess.

[Iggy]

See ya at the Fire Tower.

You're welcome!

I'll pull Flash up.

Violet, toss the hook.

No, wait. Flash is

a big heavy firetruck.

What are you doing?

We're running out of time.

Weaving these two cables together

will make them stronger

And safer.

I'm ready.

-[cracking]

-[gasps]

[strain]

Whew!

[grunts]

-Ahh!

-Whoa!

Whoa!

-Ahh!

-[both strain]

Whew!

-Woo-hoo!

-[cheering]

Good thing you took the time

to wind those two wires together, Bo.

Well, as a friend of mine

likes to say, safety first.

-And second.

-And third.

Now let's go check out that Fire Tower.

-[honks]

Wow, Bo. That was some rescue.

Thanks, Dad.

But for me and Flash,

fighting fires is easy peasy

-Anti-freezy.

-[both] Wee-oo.

[Chief Faye]

I don't know about that

an extrication from a structure fire

with multiple hotspots is never easy.

-Huh?

-Say what now?

What Chief Faye means is

that real fire fighting

isn't as simple as you think, Bo.

Sure it is.

You see a fire

and you blast it with water.

Sploosh!

[chuckles] Not always.

Faye, remember the Crankshaft Fire?

Oh, yeah. How could I forget?

That was our very first forest fire

And it was a doozy.

There was

a wall of flames a mile long.

[all] Whoa

It must've taken

a lot of water to put it out.

That's the thing. No matter

how much water we threw on it,

the flames kept spreading.

So what did you do?

We tried smothering it.

See, if the flame is small,

you can cover it with a special blanket

that won't burn.

A "fire-retardant" blanket.

As noted on page 154

of the Gearbox Grove

Fire Department manual.

But this fire was so huge,

there wasn't a blanket big

enough to smother it.

So we tried using sand instead.

But the fire kept spreading.

It seemed like there was

no way to stop it.

-[all gasp]

-But then I remembered

the most important thing a

fire fighter needs to know:

"Magtiyaga ka."

What does that mean?

Your Lolo, my father,

learned it in the Philippines,

before he moved here.

It's Tagalog for

"Always keep trying."

Magtiyaga ka. Always keep trying.

And how did that

help you stop the fire?

Because we kept trying

until we finally found

the way to stop it.

We dug a trench

and cleared everything

in the fire's path

that could burn.

It's called a fire break.

That stopped

the blaze from spreading

and made it easier to put out.

Mine!

That's a cool story, Dad.

But if there's

a fire in the city,

with Flash's hose

and my skills,

we'd put it out in no time.

-[chuckles] Well

-[alarm beeps]

-Oh, my gears!

-What was that?

Oh, we got a fire. A big one.

And it's right

across the street.

Sorry, kids. We gotta roll.

Yeah, us fire fighters

gotta roll.

Bo, you know you can't go with us.

All you kids need to

stay here where it's safe.

[Bo] Aww

[siren wails]

Oh!

We better put this fire out

before those embers

start new ones.

[groans] Can ya believe

there's a fire across the street

and we're stuck here in the park?

You all saw how

I saved that toy truck.

From cardboard flames.

[Piston] Chief Faye is right.

Page 65 of the safety manual

clearly states

that kids should

stay away from real

Fire!

But I feel so ready.

No! A real fire!

Yes, ready to fight a real fire.

No, behind you!

[all gasp]

I'll get your parents.

A real fire

The police closed off the street

because of the other fire.

I couldn't reach them.

So what do we do?

We put out the fire ourselves.

Yeah!

I don't know, Bo

This is our chance to show

that we can handle a real fire.

I mean, we are

the Firebuds after all.

I guess we can try.

Great. Now I need you all of

you to block off the fire scene

while Flash and I put out this fire.

Let's roll.

♪♪

Easy peasy, anti-freezy

Flash, what happened to the water?

-I ran out.

-But you never run out!

We were using so much earlier

when we were practicing.

I guess that's why Mom tells me

to drink a hundred gallons for breakfast.

[gasps]

The fire's flaring up again.

Great gaskets!

It's okay, we can still do this.

My dad told us all those

other ways to fight fires.

We just need to pick one.

Right. We can smother it.

With the picnic blanket.

But it has to be

fire-retardant, remember?

Gotcha covered, Buds.

I always carry

fire-retardant spray.

All right! Spray it down.

Okay. Axl, Piston.

Each of you grab a corner

and cover the flame.

We're on it.

-[gasps]

-Uh-oh!

We made it worse!

Three fires worse!

What do we do now?

What do we do?

Think, think. What was

the other thing my Dad said?

Sand! Your dad said

sand can put out fires.

Right. The plan is sand.

Flash and I will take

the fire on the ramp.

We'll take the one

on the platform.

And we got the slide. Axl?

[gasps] No!

We'll show this flame who's boss, P

with our J-merangs!

Looks like

the flame is the boss.

[Flash] All right, Bo.

I'm ready to spray some sand.

Here we go

No!

The sand didn't work.d

-The fire's spreading!

-What now?

Uh, I think we should

[sighs]

I don't know!

What do you mean

you don't know?

Nothing's working and

I don't know what else to do.

I thought I was ready

to fight real fires.

But [sighs] I guess I'm

not a firefighter after all.

Piston. Show these pictures of the fire

to the police blocking the street.

When they see what's goin' on,

they'll let you through to

get Bo and Flash's parents.

Affirmative. Operation

"Get Mom and Dad

Because We Couldn't

Put Out the Fire" is underway!

[Wee-hicle] Help!

I didn't know there was

a wee-hicle up there

It's okay, come on down.

Uh-uh. There's a fire.

I'm scared.

Uh, okay hang tight.

We'll come get you.

Bo. He's too scared

to come down

and the fire's

getting close.

We can't wait for your parents.

We have to stop the fire now.

You're right.

But what do we do?

We already tried and failed.

Bo, remember

what your Dad said

about being a fire fighter?

Magtiyaga ka.

Always keep trying.

Exactly. So we just gotta keep trying

until we find a way to stop that fire.

[gasps] There is one thing

we could try

Okay, Firebuds. Here's the plan.

We're going to make

a fire break

just like in my dad's story!

You mean the trench?

How will digging a trench help?

The trench stopped

the forest fire from spreading.

We can do the same thing

by taking down that bridge.

[gasps] Then the fire will have

nowhere to go

And the wee-hicle will be safe.

-Bam!

-Awesome sauce.

All right then. Let's roll, Firebuds.

Don't worry. We're coming up to getcha.

It's okay, little guy.

We can go down the slide together.

Whew. You're safe now.

Thanks, Firebuds.

Mine!

-[sighs]

-[sirens wail]

Hold on, kids!

Help is on the way!

Whoa!

Hey, kids. Everyone all right?

Everyone is safe and accounted for.

They saved me!

So what happened here?

Looks to me like

a fire break, Chief Bill.

Good thinking, kids.

Thanks, Dad.

But being a firefighter was

harder than I thought.

For a minute there,

I almost gave up.

Almost?

But then Flash reminded me

of the most important thing

about fighting fires.

[both] Magtiyaga ka.

I'm so proud of you.

Bo, one day you're gonna make

a great fire fighter.

Does that mean I can help you

put out the rest of the building fire?

It's like you said magtiyaga ka.

Always keep trying.

Let's roll out, Chief Faye.

I'm proud of you, Firebuds.

We faced our first

real fire today

-You know it.

-Firebuds forever.

Firebuds forever.
