S9 • E31 Jan 9, 1978Susan has a toy firetruck and describes the different parts to the kids and Big Bird, who becomes inspired to become a firefighter. The life of a Yellow Yahoo. Muppets "The King's Picnic". Sand Y/y. Big Bird dons a fire helmet and carries a hose, looking for people in need of his fire-fighting services. 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 a little, not enough to warrant a fire call. He hands Big Bird a mop to clean up the mess as the bird sighs, "I'm not so sure this is my kind of work."
