1
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: Last time on growing up, Emily and Luis talked to

2
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:11,239
Speaker 1: the awesome firefighter Trent Maxwell, better known as Maxie. No,

3
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:14,320
Speaker 1: not you, Maxie, though we love you too. Now they've

4
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: traveled back in time to learn all about the history

5
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 1: of firefighting. But the big question is where will their

6
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: magical time traveling cube take them?

7
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 2: Now?

8
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 3: Wow, I feel kind of dizzy.

9
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 4: Time traveling is riding a roller coaster.

10
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 5: I'm sure we'll get used to it, Louise.

11
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 3: I hope so, because a good night has to be

12
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 3: a good time traveler exactly.

13
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 4: So where are we, Emily?

14
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 6: Well, Louise, after you told me about your visit to

15
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,320
Speaker 6: the fire station, I thought it'd be cool to visit

16
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 6: another one here in Chicago, which is very very special.

17
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 2: Huh.

18
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 3: So this is a fire station, but Emily, I see

19
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 3: no fire trucks here. How can it be a fire

20
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 3: station without a truck?

21
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:36,119
Speaker 6: Oh well, that's because it's the year eighteen seventy eight.

22
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 4: Oh so there were no trucks back then, I mean

23
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 4: back now. I'm so confused.

24
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 6: Okay, yes, well right now in eighteen seventy eight, the

25
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 6: firefighters around us are part of a fire company called

26
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 6: Engine Company twenty one.

27
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 4: Cool name.

28
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 6: Yes, they were the first all black fire company in Chicago.

29
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 4: That's awesome. Wait, oh Maxi, is that you?

30
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 5: Oh I don't think so, Louise.

31
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 4: He probably stayed back.

32
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 5: In the present.

33
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 4: Oh right.

34
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 3: Oh, and this dog looks very different from Maxie like

35
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 3: his black spots.

36
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 4: Does this dog work with the firefighters?

37
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 5: Yes, exactly.

38
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 6: This tall fella is called a Dalmatian, and it's a

39
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 6: very special dog because it's really good at running next

40
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 6: to horses.

41
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 3: Oh, so that's why there's horses over there in the corner.

42
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 3: So they used to carry the water hose on the carriage.

43
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 6: They did so when they rode the carriage to the

44
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 6: sight of the fire, they would bring a few dalmatians

45
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 6: with them. They would run in front of the carriage

46
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 6: to clear the way for the horses so that they

47
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 6: would get there faster.

48
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 4: Oh that's smart.

49
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 3: I wonder if MAXI could run next to a horse.

50
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 3: He and I love the fight dragons, so this should

51
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 3: be easy peasy for him.

52
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 5: Oh, I'm sure he'd love it.

53
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 6: So anyway, it's because of horses that we have one

54
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 6: of the most famous fire station inventions.

55
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 4: Oh what's that?

56
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 5: Well, I think we're gonna find out just to bat.

57
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 4: Well, what's happening? Is there a fire? Looks like it?

58
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 5: And look over there, what do you see?

59
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 4: All the firefighters are sliding down that pole.

60
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 6: Yes, now you got to slide down a pole at

61
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 6: the fire station for your field trip.

62
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 3: Right.

63
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 5: Do you know why firefighters do that?

64
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 3: Oh?

65
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 4: Oh, I know this to get to the fire truck faster. Exactly.

66
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 6: Many fire stations used to have spiral staircases to go

67
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 6: up to the firefighter's rooms. But if it isn't easy

68
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 6: for one person to run quickly down a spiral staircase,

69
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 6: it's even harder for an entire crew to do it.

70
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 4: Oh, so that's why they chose to slide down a

71
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 4: pole instead. Exactly.

72
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 6: You see, where there's horses, there's hay, and fire stations

73
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 6: usually had a pole to help push around the hay.

74
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 6: So one crewmember said, Hey, if we slide down this thing,

75
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 6: we'll get down here a lot faster.

76
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 4: Oh can I try sure?

77
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 6: It looks like the firefighters are all geared up and

78
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 6: ready to go.

79
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 5: Want to join them?

80
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 4: Of course?

81
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 3: Wait, let me put on a fire jacket and helmet too. Okay,

82
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 3: we're all set, let's go.

83
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 5: Louise, do you want to ring the bell.

84
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 4: There's a bell. Yes, please attention, attention coming through. We

85
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 4: have a fire to get to. How did these guys

86
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 4: know where to go without bone maps?

87
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 6: Well they really had to know the city quite well.

88
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 6: Plus when there's a fire, you can always just follow

89
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 6: the smoke. Oh look, I can see it just around

90
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 6: the corner, which means we're almost there.

91
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 3: Oh wow, the fires The fire's huge.

92
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 6: Yeah it is, but don't worry. Look that man over

93
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 6: there is dragging the fire hose as close as he

94
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 6: can get, and the other ones going up a ladder

95
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 6: to rescue someone on the second floor.

96
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 4: Wow, they're doing it. You guys are amazing.

97
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 6: Look they rescued everyone in just in time too, because

98
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 6: the building's about too.

99
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 4: Who just in time?

100
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 3: Wait, so we were able to get here in time

101
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 3: thanks to the firefighters.

102
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 2: Poll.

103
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:27,799
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a huge help.

104
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 6: After this fire crew added that pole to the station,

105
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 6: they were able to.

106
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 5: Put on all their gear and be ready to go

107
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 5: in eleven seconds.

108
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 4: Wow. That's impressive.

109
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 5: It is.

110
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 6: And remember this was the first all black firefighting company

111
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,840
Speaker 6: in Chicago, and because they became one of the fastest

112
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 6: fire companies to respond to emergencies, the whole town started

113
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 6: to appreciate them, and that's when the firefighter's pole started

114
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 6: to be used all over the world.

115
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 4: I love it.

116
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 3: Plus, it's always super fun to slide down.

117
00:05:59,160 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 4: Yeah it is.

118
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 6: Now let's go home and let them get back to

119
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 6: work saving the kittens of Chicago.

120
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 4: Let's go. Well, Louise, what do you think that was awesome?

121
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 3: I wish I had a fire pome in my house

122
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 3: so I could slide down to dinner from my room

123
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 3: in eleven seconds too.

124
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:29,679
