Apologies Are Dangerous - S3-E4
Continuity mistake: When driving to their first call that shift (guy stuck between cars), Truck 81 is seen arriving at the scene while it should be still being repaired. When they arrive back at the firehouse, the truck they drive carries the number of the exchange truck they've got (E-..).
Trivia: Casey is playing catch with a football at a Chicago Bears game. Casey throws the football is back underhand like it's a rugby ball and not the American way overhead. Casey is played by Jesse Gordon Spencer who is an Australian actor, so that's why he threw the football like it was rugby ball. (00:01:07)
Question: With the fire in the house, they opened up the walls and the ceiling. Why would they do that? Wouldn't that give the fire more oxygen?

Answer: Internet sources give many reasons why firefighters do this, but in regards to your question, it's probably because opening walls and ceilings creates better ventilation which allows heat and smoke to escape, giving firefighters better visibility and lowering the temperature.
