Plot
In Brooklyn, New York in 1930, 6-year-old Georgia Nolan aspires to be a fireman like her father used to be, before he retired to become a tailor. When Shawn tells her women are not allowed to be firemen, Georgia pretends to give it up and follow in his footsteps as a seamstress, but secretly begins training on her rooftop alongside her faithful Dalmatian sidekick Ember.
Ten years later, in 1940, Mayor Murray asks Shawn to end his retirement to head up a young team of firefighters to combat a unidentified arsonist who is burning down the city's theaters with a strange purple fire and has somehow kidnapped all the city's other firefighters. Willing to help and determined to prove herself to her father, Georgia disguises herself as a man named Joe and joins the team.
While in disguise, "Joe" meets the other firemen: Jinn, a Chinese who loves to drive fast as a cheetah but suffers from narcolepsy, and Ricardo, a muscular Spanish with a passion for chemistry and physics who can analyze the source of the fire. With training, the three become an effective unit, able to counter each other's inexperience and weaknesses with their own strengths.
