    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The fire boat seen in the film is Los Angeles City No. 2, later named the "Ralph J. Scott". It was built in San Pedro in 1925 and served until 2003.
    • Goofs
      Several clips are reused. Notable is the ladder truck leaving skid marks around a turn, which is used just before Skillet (Eddie Acuff) falls from the truck and again at the end. Several scenes of trucks leaving firehouses and proceeding through streets are used two or three times. Also the clip of the left side of the "Standard Warehouse" building is used twice - once early in the climactic fire scene, and again after Red (Dick Foran) and Smokey (Robert Armstrong) leap from the building into the water. In fact, when they leap, you can see the "Standard" part of the building missing, only to blow up in a subsequent shot.
    • Quotes
      • Betty Williams: Captain, just how do you rescue a girl from a fire?
      • Capt. Smokey Shannon: Oh, just pick her up and walk out of the house with her.
      • Betty Williams: And what do I have to do to get you to come up to my house?
      • Capt. Smokey Shannon: Play with matches.
    • Crazy credits
      This is an extremely rare instance of the final shot dissolving into the end title, rather than a fade-out/fade-in, which was the custom in those days.
