| [[Gina]] sees [[Big Bird]], [[Mr. Snuffleupagus]] and [[Miles]] pretending to be firefighters. She reminds them that [[Mr. Handford]] used to be a firefighter and they can learn a lot from. They don't believe him at first, since he's not wearing a helmet or boots, but he assures them he has his uniform in the basement. They beg him to put it on, despite him wanting to have his lunch now.
