Recap[]
Wubbzy and friends hear something falling. It's a giant meatball. The spaghetti and meatball factory is on the fritz! The Fire Department springs into action and stops all the spaghetti and meatballs from covering the town.
Wubbzy wishes he had his own fire engine. Widget gets to work on inventing one for him. Once it's done, Widget shows him what it can do and gives Wubbzy a fire helmet. Wubbzy says that now he'll be ready to help in an emergency; Widget and Walden advise him not to use it in a real emergency, but let the professionals take over in that case. Wubbzy promises he'll only use it for fun. Wubbzy and Daizy hop in the fire engine and head off to find people to help. He uses it on simple tasks such as filling Birdie Bird's birdbath up with water.
However, he then sees smoke coming from a building. Wubbzy goes up to put out the fire, although it turns out to just be Chef Fritz making pancakes. A pancake hits Wubbzy sending him back to the trampoline of the fire engine, making him spring up to the top of a skyscraper. Daizy runs to get Widget and Walden who get the real fire department to save him. Then wind blows his hat away and Wubbzy tries to reach it, But he slips off the globe and falls to the ground. Luckily, the fire man catches him by his tail. After that, Wubbzy apologizes, though the fire chief understands that he was trying to help. As a reward, Wubbzy is made an honorary firefighter.
