Mickey's Fire Brigade is a color Mickey Mouse short released in 1935.

Synopsis

Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy are firefighters responding to a hotel fire. Mickey drives a contemporary style hook-and-ladder fire truck, Donald is standing on the stack of ladders on the truck shouting "Fire! Fire! Fire!", while Goofy is steering the rear of the truck.

The three fire fighters arrive at the hotel and go to work. However, the fire and smoke have a mind of their own and the three fail in every attempt to put out the fire and save the furniture.

Finally, Mickey realizes that there is a woman upstairs. They find Clarabelle Cow locked in the bathroom taking a bath and singing to herself, unaware that the hotel is on fire. After Goofy unsuccessfully warns her through the transom, Mickey and Donald break the door down using Goofy as a battering ram. Clarabelle is alarmed and thinks that Mickey, Donald, and Goofy are kidnappers. As Clarabelle is screaming for the police and hitting them with her scrub brush, the three firefighters lift the bathtub, with Clarabelle still in it, and shove it out the window.

Clarabelle sails through the air in her tub and slides down a ladder to the ground. The three firefighters then land in the bathtub and Clarabelle still hits them with her scrub brush.
