Fire! is a great episode in which there are sveral funny bits, the introduction of a new military antagonist (Col. Briggs) comedy from Murdock and a rare occasion where Hannibal falls for the girl.
This episode has a great mix of all the classic elements. Murdock creates a secret fire fighting weapon in a small seltzer bottle he calls \"Lil\' Squirt\" and this frustrates BA. , Murdock and Face scam Kelsey as \"Fireman Fred\" \"I\'m dressed in red, i\'m Fireman Fred!\".
This episode also shows that the team isnt biased against women as the team is impressed with a female fire chief.
The new military antagonist, Col. Briggs shows up at the beginning, middle, and end of this episode making a really nice introduction for his character.

Allusions
ADD ALLUSIONS- Face: Hey, hey, could you fellows put a hold on it? I'm trying to listen to Rubenstein's performance of Brahms' Second Piano Concerto. Murdock: I prefer Ashkenazy. Polish-American Arthur Rubenstein is considered by many to be one of the finest virtuoso pianists of the 20th century; he won six Grammy Awards, including a Lifetime Achievement Award in 1994, twelve years after his death. Vladimir Ashkenazy is a Russian-born virtuoso pianist; he has also won six Grammy Awards. Both pianists recorded Brahms' Piano Concerto No. 2 during their careers. Johannes Brahms began writing his second piano concerto in 1878 and completed it in 1881; he premiered the concerto in Budapest on November 9, 1881. Edit
- Murdock: And remember, only you can prevent forest fires. In 1944, the Ad Council created this message for Smokey Bear in an effort to prevent forest wildfires. The ad campaign has been so successful that nearly any American can quote Smokey Bear's message upon hearing the first few words. Edit
- Murdock: Do you know that there are a thousand tragic cases of "meaning to" in the naked city? This is an allusion to the line that closes the 1948 film The Naked City: "There are eight million stories in the naked city; this has been one of them." The line was also used in the TV series Naked City, which was inspired by the film. Edit
