synopsis
The Bunkers' upstairs bathroom suffers minor damages in a small fire. Hoping to collect a huge insurance settlement, Archie rearranges the evidence to make it seem that the damage was extensive. His self-inflicted vandalization is merely a prologue for yet another example of Archie figuratively shooting himself in the foot. Roger C. Carmel appears as insurance adjustor Ligway. First telecast on February 19, 1977, "Fire," was written by Michael Loman, Larry Rhine, and Mel Tolkin.
