While this is not a great silent comedy short, it still is very good and worth a look. Fatty Arbuckle and Buster Keaton work in a garage and manage to not only fix cars but put out fires as well--with a fire station directly above the garage. In the end, the fire station itself burns to the ground--proving, I guess, that these two guys aren't exactly the world's greatest firemen (big surprise there, huh?).
A few of the sight gags are funny, such as the lady Susan on which they spin cars as Fatty hoses them off, the way Fatty and Buster pull ropes to yank on their clothes when they are sleeping in the firs house, and the way Keaton climbs up the fire pole upside-down (this isn't done by running the film backwards--Keaton really could do this stunt).
