    really good ep with two good guests

    Haig and Anderson are two actors that many will recognize although Haig has hair this time, and they really deliver. Haig's interaction with Brackett is fantastic and a must see. Anderson plays the crotchy old guy to a tee but then he has a bit of a softer side.

    Really worth watching.

    Storyline

    • Trivia
      When leaving the station for the structure fire, after rescuing the boy from the storm drain, both Squad & Engine depart together, before the call is completed. This is not a problem, because each unit can hear the details over the radio in each vehicle & the Captain can respond from there. It is however, very uncharacteristic for this to take place, as to the fact that some preliminary details are usually dispensed at the station (such as location of the incident) before departure happens. This may have been done by the Director or Writers, to help communicate the impatient nature of the Captain.
    • Goofs
      When eating dinner at the station, Chet asks Marco to pass the salt. Marco instead passes Chet the ketchup, which Chet then puts on his food.
