Like a funny, animated "Rashomon," "A Fire Fighting We Will Go" employs flashbacks and multiple perspectives to find out how Hank, Dale, Bill, and Boomhauer managed to burn down the Arlen Fire Department. When Bill becomes a volunteer firefighter, his neighbors decide to suit up and serve as well. While at the station, they meet Chet Elderson, Arlen's oldest living firefighter, who insists on keeping his neon Alamo Beer sign plugged in despite it being a fire hazard.
Although Hank treats the new position with his usual professionalism, Dale, Bill, and Boomhauer cause chaos with their incompetence, including destroying a hydrant and ruining Chet's funeral. The fire station burns down while under their watch, due either to Dale's cigarette, Boomhauer's tanning bed, or Bill's burned pizza. Who's responsible? Each recollection of the event takes wildly different turns depending on who's telling it while adding a piece to the puzzle.
