Firefighting We Will
Go Episode KH311
Original Air Date: 1/12/99
Hank and his friends become volunteer firefighters--with disastrous
consequences.
In the present day, Hank, Dale, Bill and Boomhauer meet with the Heimlich County
fire chief inside an interrogation room. The fire chief warns the men that they
are all in serious trouble. As the story unfolds in flashback, Hank, Dale and
Boomhauer watch as Heck Dorland drives a fire truck towards the common alley.
Bill, wearing a fireman’s helmet, hops off the vehicle and proudly exclaims
that is now a firefighter. Heck explains to the men that the professional
firefighters are on strike--leaving the city’s defense in the hands of
volunteers. He asks Hank and his friends if they are interested in joining. The
three men, in ecstasy, run towards the truck. Later, as Peggy fixes dinner, Hank
enters the house wearing a fireman’s helmet. When Luanne excitedly expresses
her desire to become a firefighter, Hank insists she isn’t strong enough to
carry a large man out of a burning building. Peggy disagrees. She demonstrates a
"fireperson’s carry," which allows a woman to lift a man’s weight
using leverage. Unfortunately, Peggy hurts herself in the process. Later, Hank
and his buddies practice dousing a trash fire using a hose. Dale loses control
of the hose and it flails on the ground, dousing his colleagues. Back at the
firehouse, the men bask in the clublike atmosphere. There, Heck introduces Hank
to an elderly man named Chet Elderson, one of the town’s first volunteer
firemen. Chet notices that someone unplugged his neon Alamo beer sign. Dale
plugs it back in, but receives an electric shock in the process. One day, Hank
and his buddies drive past the middle school, attracting the attention of Bobby
and his friends. The boys want to board the fire truck, but Hank notes their
muddy feet. The men decide to clean the boys using the fire hose. Unfortunately,
the group strips the bolt on a hydrant, producing a geyser of water.
As time passes, the men’s behavior at the firehouse turns more and more
juvenile. A sleepless Hank protests when Dale and Bill play ping-pong one night.
But the pair ignore his pleas for quiet. Angered, Hank rises from his bed, grabs
the ping-pong ball, and smashes it with his foot. In retaliation, Bill removes
Hank’s eyeglasses and crushes them with his foot. Angered over the crushed
ball, Dale throws a hot Frito pie at Hank, but misses and strikes Bill in the
face. Hank chases after Bill, who becomes stuck on the fire pole. Later that
night, the men receive word of Chet Elderson’s passing. The funeral turns
disastrous when Hank, Bill, Dale and Boomhauer, acting as pall bearers, tumble
into the open grave. Afterwards, at the fire station, Dale plugs in Chet’s
beloved Alamo beer sign. Hank yanks out the cord, but Dale plugs it back in.
Suddenly, the station’s fire alarm sounds. The men are dispatched to a fire at
Goobersmooches restaurant. Just before the men hop aboard the fire engine, Bill
runs to his uniform holding a roasted marshmallow; Dale discards a cigarette;
and Boomhauer knocks over a tanning lamp. When the foursome arrive at the
restaurant, Heck has already extinguished the blaze. But when they return to the
station house, they find it engulfed in flames. The men recount for the fire
chief what transpired moments before they left for Goobersmooches. Eventually,
the chief concludes that the fire house blaze could have been caused by Dale’s
smoking, Boomhauer’s tanning, or Bill’s eating. But Hank reveals it was none
of these. He recounts how, when he hopped into the driver’s seat of the fire
truck, he saw the Alamo beer sign flashing in the rear view mirror. He blames
Chet Elderson for plugging in the defective sign, and for accidentally causing
the fire. The fire chief accepts the story...much to Dale’s relief.
