It's 1920 Brooklyn. Little girl Georgia Nolan loves playing firefighting with her dog Ember. After her mother's death, her heroic father Captain Shawn Nolan quit firefighting to be in the safe job of a tailor. He tells her that girls can't be firefighters. She would follow him into tailoring but secretly trains to be a firefighter. It's 10 years later. A mysterious Broadway arsonist has somehow made a fire team disappear. The mayor recruits Shaw to lead the fire station with only two misfit recruits. Georgia manages to join disguised as Joe.
This is French Canadian animation. I like the style for the most part. The message is female empowerment which is strange as the final text reveals that NYPD only started hiring women in the 80's. I don't like Georgia's voice for a teen girl. Although it may work better for the sex switch, she still sounds rather old as a teen. The premise is a bit awkward. It's not a good look that only a few are willing to go work in that firehouse. It rings wrong that all the firefighters are cowards and all the cops are idiots. Ignoring all that, the Scooby-Doo mystery is fine and I like the characters.
