He says the place is full of grain dust,
which could explode at any time.
So everybody keep together,
maintain radio contact.
Check that
on the three side of the building.

Uh, probationary firefighter
Jack Morrison reporting, sir.
Sir?
Sir?
Your shift started at seven, son.
- Uh, well, sir, I was already here.
- Ah, save it. Sit down.
Now, let me tell you somethin', boy.
Engine 33 is the busiest...
...and most disciplined firehouse
in the city.
No room for slackers.
You got that?
I know that, sir.
We get over 4,000 calls a year.
That's a lot of action.
Gotta be willing to go the extra mile.
Are you, Jack?
Are you willing to go the extra mile?
- Well, yes, sir.
- I don't think so.
I can.
Sorry, Cap.
Uh, Father Hogan's here.
Uh, I'll go last. I'll go last.
Let him go first.
Go ahead. Go ahead, Jack.
Yeah, so, Jack... OK.
Welcome to, uh, Engine 33.
Good to have you onboard, son.
Get out.
Well, thank you, sir.
Hey. Ray Gauquin.
How are you?
Jack Morrison.
Good to meet you.
Uh... So, the captain...
He's a great guy.
Uh, right down here.
You can use this one.
- This one?
- Yeah.
- You Catholic?
- Yeah.
Most of the guys are.
Uh, we have a thing here.
A priest comes around twice a year.
We all go to confession.
In this job, you need it.
I mean, you get enough fires, you find God.
Yeah.
A good confession now, son.
"Bless me, Father... "
Uh, bless me, Father, for I have sinned.
It's been, uh...
...seven years since my last confession.
- Seven years is a long time.
- Yes, Father.
All right, where do we start?
Theft? Robbery?
Fraud? Taxes?
Well, you know.
Taxes? Always taxes.
How 'bout sex?
Impure thoughts?
Well, yes, quite a bit.
Try to cut back.
- Are you married?
- No.
- Are you a virgin?
- No, Father.
Oh, you think it's funny to
fornicate with loose women?
What? Wait a minute.
No, you wait a minute.
You come across any more loose women,
you let me know.
- Tommy Drake.
- Jack Morrison.
- Hey, man. Don Miller.
- Good to meet you.
- Dennis Gauquin.
- Hey.
My older and, as you
can see, uglier brother.
- Frank McKinney.
- Father.
Lenny Richter. Father Lenny Richter.
- Pleasure to meet you.
- Good sport.
Cap.
You think we'll get
something today or what?
I don't know, kid.
I think you put a hex on us.
Uh, did you report a fire, ma'am?
I burned some bread
in the oven, that's all.
Oh, well,
can we come in and check, please?
You put one foot in here,
this dog'll tear your ass off.
Get in there, probie.
Come here.
Yeah?
What the hell's this?
- What?
- Are you stupid?
- There's no paper.
