"First Responders to the Rescue" is the one-hundred and fifteenth episode of the Disney Jr. animated series Doc McStuffins, and the twenty-third episode in the fourth season. It premiered on September 23, 2017, but was previously aired in mid August two weeks prior to the events of both Hurricane Harvey, which devastated the City of Houston, Texas, and the Texas Gulf Coast and Hurricane Irma, which devastated Florida and the Florida Keys.
After a sudden and severe thunderstorm hits McStuffinsville, a young boy named Dev (who has a terrifying fear of thunderstorms) finds himself magically transported to the town along with his toys who come together to form the First Responders team to rescue the citizens of McStuffinsville.
Diagnoses: Scaredy Scares, Bendy-leg Boo-boos, Leggy Pops (though it wasn't mentioned in the episode itself, Leggy Leo clearly had the same diagnosis from "Made to Be a Nurse"), Peachy-Sticky-Fluffy-Stucks.
Toys that debut in this episode: Shinji, Jacks, Riggles, Nosh, Zoe, and Iggy.
It was originally set to air September 9, 2017, but it was pulled off air due to being offensive to those in the events of Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma. The episode was broadcasted on September 23 and in LATAM Spanish on the SAP mode on September 28.
This Episode aired early on Watch Disney Jr. and in mid-August on Disney Junior two weeks prior of the events of Hurricane Harvey.
