In order to answer the obvious question - why doesn't he have rhinoplasty? - there is a scene in which we learn that C.D. is allergic to all known anaesthetics, local and general. No fire service in the world would allow anyone with an allergy like that anywhere near an active fire-fighting role, especially that of fire chief. He'd be lucky to get a desk job. What would happen if he was injured on the job - as firefighters very frequently are? [First, firefighters are not very frequently injured on the job. While the job has its' dangers, it is less dangerous than a logger, miner, or even truck driver. All jobs I've done, with only a sprained ankle, once, on the job. A fire chief is more like a manager or desk job than active firefighting as it is, so in fact he does have a desk job. He's allergic to anesthetics, but that doesn't mean he can't have work performed on him without it. Like dental work without freezing. It may be painful, but it can be done.]

Charlie: I really admire your shoes.
Bystander: What?
Charlie: I really admire your shoes. But as much as I admire your shoes, I really wouldn't want to be IN your shoes at this particular moment in time.
Mistakes
In the scene where they are putting out the fire, Charlie belts out "I want two 2-1/2 inch lines from the pump to the fire and three 1-1/2 inch lines from the hydrant to the pump". This is backwards. No fire department would ever use three small handlines to supply an engine from a hydrant. See more...

Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.

During the scene when Charlie has to come up with 20 put-downs about having a big nose (in the bar), he rattles off 19 insults and asks "How many is that?" A gentleman in the bar yells, "Fourteen, Chief!" Then Charlie proceeds to give six more insults for a total of 25. [This isn't really an error. Perhaps the man wanted to get Charlie to say a few more.]
