Flat Stanley and Arthur won the Fire Safety Month poster contest and their prize is a trip to the local firehouse! Before the trip, Stanley and Arthur practice all of the fire drills they learned at school and dream about sliding down the fire pole. At the firehouse Chief Abbot gives the Lambchop family a tour of the kitchen, bunk room, and garage, and invites Stanley and Arthur to climb aboard a real fire truck. Things can’t get any better until Stanley and Arthur’s visit turns into an exciting rescue mission, proving that sometimes flatter is better.
