Sometimes, "stop drop and roll" isn't enough in the event of a fire. In this one, Ian and Liv talk about a fire that broke out in a sweatshop in NYC more than 100 years ago. Pro tip: if you're looking to save a few bucks on the construction of a factory, the fire sprinkler system isn't the cut you should make. Don't learn that the hard way.

Also, Ian begins falling apart when he's tired. Liv has personal experience as a "town crier."
