However, Susan, Olivia, and Mr. Macintosh have no fires for him to fight. When he tries drumming up some work from Luis, he explains that firefighters don't go around looking for fires - they are alerted about them back at the firehouse. He leaves Big Bird with an important tidbit - "Where there's smoke, there's fire." Big Bird catches a whiff of smoke coming from Hooper's Store and springs into action, spraying water all over the store. Mr. Hooper points out the smoke was from his English muffin getting stuck in the toaster and burning, not enough to warrant a fire call. He orders Big Bird to grab a mop and clean up the mess he made.
