Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen the trio are out on the street in front of the firehouse, there is a policeman standing in the background directing cars to continue on without making a right turn into the scene being shot. There is also a Safeway grocery store on that background street, and later on a Max Factor Make-up Salon (opened in 1935) and Bekins Van Lines truck, the last two possibly product placements or merely coincidence.
- GoofsWhen Moe is helping Minnie out of the car trunk, she accidentally kicks the actress behind her in the jaw.
- Quotes
Fire Chief: If this were the army I'd have you shot at sunrise!
Curly: But you couldn't do that, cap, we don't get up that early!

Featured review
Another funny Three Stooges short
Curly, Larry and Moe are with the fire brigade. They mess things up and almost get fired. They get one last chance. Later that day are suppose to go to a birthday party with some girls but are not allowed to leave. Only Curly sneaks out and arrives at the party. He must find a way to get his friends there as well and therefore he sets off the alarm. You can imagine what can go wrong.
This is a pretty funny short with some very nice physical jokes as well. By watching too much Three Stooges shorts the violence, especially from Moe, gets a little irritating. There are also very funny violent moments so I am not really complaining. It is just that after one punch in the eyes it is enough, in my humble opinion. Still, this is a very entertaining movie.
