Ep 13. Curious George at the Firehouse

When George Utley, the handyman at the Stratford Inn, expresses interest in joining the volunteer fire department, the firefighters invite him to spend a day at the firehouse to see what it's like. George eagerly accepts, but quickly realizes that being a firefighter is harder than it looks.

Meanwhile, Joanna is tasked with organizing a fundraiser for the fire department and enlists the help of Stephanie, Michael, and Larry. But their efforts to sell tickets are thwarted by a rival fundraiser being held at the same time.

As the day progresses, George accidentally sets off the fire alarm, causing chaos in the firehouse. The firefighters finally get a real call and rush off to respond to a fire, leaving George alone in the station. When he hears another alarm go off, he assumes it's a false alarm and ignores it, only to discover later that it was a real emergency that he missed.

Back at the inn, Dick and Joanna try to find a way to raise money for the fire department without stepping on the toes of the rival fundraiser. They finally hit upon the idea of selling old Stratford Inn items, which proves to be a success.

In the end, George realizes that being a firefighter is not for him, but he gains a newfound respect for the men and women who risk their lives to save others. And the fire department is grateful for the money raised by the Stratford Inn's fundraiser.

Overall, "Curious George at the Firehouse" is a lighthearted episode that highlights the importance of community involvement and showcases the camaraderie among the characters on the show.
