About Fiery Fireman
Oswald the Lucky Rabbit is a firefighter asleep in the station bed, with his horse asleep beside him. A building catches fire and they leave the bed late, then reach the scene. Oswald lets stranded mice slide down a rope. He and the horse then try to carry an unconscious hippo out a window. She wakes on the ladder, the ladder snaps, and Oswald and the hippo fall through the sidewalk. Oswald climbs back out of a basement door with the hippo in his arms.
