There's a thing you do in firefighting called "reading smoke." You watch the smoke billow in and out, dance around and study every puff, every wisp. You have to understand how the smoke moves if you want to contain the fire beneath it. Because a lack of containment in this line of work... is a recipe for disaster."

"Ladder, Station 19, respond, structural fire"

"Miller says he's starting a top-floor evacuation." Pruitt yelled to them as he watched them get dressed and hop into the truck

"Copy that."

"Grab some extra tanks for Miller and Warren." Pruitt continued even though he's just visiting them

"Already packed, sir." Maya poked her head out to tell him

"Captain?" Y/n poked her head out at them

"Yes." Andy asked

"Yeah." Pruitt asked at the same time

Y/n rose her eyebrows not knowing what to say "um,Ready to roll."

"Let's do a full evac on the building!" Better vent." Andy yelled "Warren, you want to head up the sounding"

"Absolutely." He nodded

"All right. Nice and easy, guys. No big swings today. Let's go!" She yelled at them

"Warren, tell me why we vent the roof of structure fires." Maya asked him as they got the materials

"Uh, ventilation pulls the fire up and out of the building, preventing air from fueling the fire inside." He looked at her "That means less spread, less damage. It's pretty genius, actually."

"Okay, your enthusiasm's at a 10 right now. I need you to bring it back down to a 5." Maya looked at him her eyebrows rising

"Of course I'm at a 10." He exclaimed "Look, I just survived a ring of invisible blue fire, okay? And now, this! It's... It's a rush. It's like, uh... It's like every time I step into the O.R., I got to do a Whipple."

"I have no idea what that means, but yes, this job can be a rush, but you can't live in it all the time." She shook her head "Dial it back. Recalibrate a little."

"He clearly didn't hear anything you just said." Y/m shook her head at maya

"That tanker fire just happened a few hours ago." Maya looked back at her "That's a lot for anyone to take in, especially a probie."

"Welcome to your first roof ventilation, Warren." Maya told him as they made it to the roof "What do we do when we sound?"

"We move from one side of the roof to the other, tapping the roof as we go with, uh, with these babies."

"What are we looking for?"

"The fire's location. Hard roof, it's cool underneath. Spongy roof, it's trouble below." He walked forward

"Hey, easy, Warren!" Vic spoke up "Don't step just anywhere! Stick to the beams or you could fall through!"

"Copy that." He nodded as they continued

"Shoot! My hook is stuck" Warren tried pulling it out

"Hey, hey. Easy, easy, easy, easy!" Y/m stopped him "Don't lean out too far. Or it'll go down and you'll go down with it."

"Here you go. I'll get you out." Vic tried to help him "A little more."

The fire the shot up right in front of him maya looked over "Warren, you okay?"
