This review is fairly simple,mostly because the film is very simple. A crew of Firefighters led Jake Carson (John Cena) is known for jumping into the middle of fires to recuse people and stop the blazes. All of which is usually orderly and planned.
That is until they rescue three children from a burning cabin. Usually they would drop off the kids with protective services, but a large storm front moves in that hinders their travel. With no other choice, they bring the three children back to their base of operations to await their parents arrival.
Of course, these aren’t the quiet and respectful children they would like. Soon the firehouse if turned upside down with attitude, sticky fingers and general mayhem. The older sister Brynn (Brianna Hildebrand) takes little responsibility as she deals with her own issues, which leaves Jake and his team in a lurch.
Simply put, this film is for young children. It was made by Nickelodeon Pictures and has all the hallmarks of kids going wild and running the grown-ups in circles. Parents will put up with the simple story and film to hear their kids laugh, anyone else will want to escape quickly.
