The Price is Right Season 2015 Episode 108 Mon, Jun 8, 2015 - Firefighter Special

As the iconic game show The Price is Right enters its 43rd season, it kicks things off with a special episode dedicated to firefighters. In episode 108 of season 2015, which originally aired on Monday, June 8th, the show honors fire departments and their brave men and women who risk their lives to keep us safe.

As always, contestants are called out of the audience and onto the stage to play classic games like Plinko and Punch-a-Bunch, as well as new games that have been added since the show's debut in 1956. But in this special episode, the games all have a firefighting twist.

One game called "Ladder Game" challenges contestants to climb up a giant ladder and grab as many prize tags as they can before time runs out. Another game, called "Fire Escape," has contestants racing down a fire escape to grab prize tags that are scattered on the way down. Other games have firefighting-themed props and graphics added to them, such as a fire hose added to the game "Any Number" and a fire truck added to the game "Cliff Hangers."

But it's not just the games themselves that honor firefighters. The show also recognizes firefighters from around the country who have gone above and beyond the call of duty. In a segment called "Salute to Firefighters," host Drew Carey introduces several firefighters to the audience and tells their inspiring stories of bravery and heroism. One firefighter saved a family from a burning building, while another saved a young boy from drowning.

The show also raises awareness for the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation, which provides support to the families of firefighters who have lost their lives in the line of duty. Contestants are given the opportunity to donate a portion of their winnings to the foundation, and the show matches those donations.

Throughout the episode, contestants have the chance to win prizes such as a trip to New York City and a new car, but it's clear that the real focus is on honoring and celebrating the brave men and women who risk their lives every day. The show ends with a special showcase showdown, where the two remaining contestants compete for a grand prize package that includes a trip to Hawaii, a new kitchen, and a car.

Overall, The Price is Right's "Firefighter Special" episode is a touching tribute to those who serve our communities as firefighters. The show uses its platform to raise awareness and support for the important work that firefighters do, while also providing its trademark entertainment through fun and creative games.
