It was a normal day for Ryder and the Paw Patrol. The team had just finished helping Farmer Yumi with her chores and where now relaxing in the warm summer sun. "How could this day get any better?" Ryder thought, before being interrupted by his pup pad.
Mayor Goodway's icon popped up. Ryder, expecting another Mayor Goodway fetch quest, was surprised when he saw her standing in front of a burning building, looking very worried. "Ryder! Mr. Porter's restaurant is on fire! We need you no-" Before she could finish, she was interrupted by a very worried looking Mr. Porter. "Mayor! Have you seen Alex anywhere?!" "No." The Mayor responded. Mr. Porter grabbed the Mayor's phone. "Ryder! Alex is still in the building!" He screamed, before fainting. "Get here now!" The Mayor said, and the pup pad went blank.
"Pups! We need to go!" Ryder jumped on his ATV, and the pups got in their vehicles. "Ryder, what's wrong?" Rocky asked as they started driving. "Pups, Mr. Porter's Restaurant is on fire, and Alex could still be inside." The pups all gasped. "We don't have time to get to the Lookout. Marshall, when we get there, I need you to use your water cannon and truck to put the fire out." "I'm fired up!" "Skye, I need you to put the fire out from above." "Let's take to the sky!" "Rubble, Rocky, and Zuma, do whatever you can to help them. Chase, I need you to come with me into the building to find Alex. Everybody got it?" They all offered their acknowledgment. "Good." He swiped at his pup pad and selected the blue icon. "Ryder? What is it?" Everest asked. She had obviously been napping. "There is a fire at Mr. Porter's place. We need you to help." "What?! On it, Ryder."
When they got there, the fire was bad and getting worse. Ryder approached the Mayor. "Have you found Alex yet?" "No!" "Don't worry, we'll find him." "Hurry, Ryder!" the Mayor said as he ran off. Ryder put a fire proof suit on and went toward the building. "Chase, c'mon!" "Coming, Sir!" They went inside.
"Alex? Alex?!" Ryder and Chase called as they descended into the flaming building. "I think I smell something!" Chase yelled. He ran off. Ryder followed. Sure enough, Chase led them directly to Alex. "Ryder! Chase! I was so scared!" he said when he spotted them. "Don't worry, we'll all get out safely." Ryder picked him up and started running towards the exit.
"Ryder, I see light!" Chase yelled. They were approaching the exit. But then, a flaming wooden beam fell right on Ryder.
He threw Alex as he fell. "Ryder!" Chase called. "I'll be fine! Just get Alex out!" So Chase led Alex out of the building. Ryder was feeling the worst pain he had felt in his life as he struggled to move the beam. Then, he realized that his mask had fallen off. His vision began to blur as smoke filled his lungs.
By now, the entire town had gathered outside the building. Everyone was relieved when they saw Chase and Alex emerge from the smoke. But Marshall knew something was wrong. "Chase! Where is Ryder?" he asked. "Ryder *cough* is stuck under *cough* a beam." "What?!" Marshall jumped down from his truck. "Rubble, use my truck's water cannon!" Marshall yelled as he and Chase went back inside.
They had little trouble finding him. "Ryder!" Marshall yelled. There was no response. "Ryder?!" Chase and Marshall found Ryder, unconscious, lying under the beam. "Marshall, push on three!" Chase ordered. "One. Two. Three!" They managed to get the beam off of him. "Help me drag him out." They brought him outside to Marshall's fire truck.
Marshall put on his medical pup pack. After quickly telling Zuma how to give Alex oxygen, Marshall turned his attention to Ryder. "He is still alive." He said to no one in particular. He turned to Chase. "I can't do anything for him here. He needs to get to a hospital." "But, the nearest hospital is 20 minutes away!" Chase answered. "I know…" Marshall looked to the ground for answers. Just then, Foggy Bottom's fire department arrived. "Too bad they don't have an ambulance." Thought Marshall. "We'll have to make the best of it." Marshall said as he converted his fire truck into an ambulance. "Chase, can you drive?" "Of course." Chase climbed into the driver's seat, while Marshall got into the back with Ryder. "All I have to do is keep him alive for 20 minutes" he thought.
