HUNTER SHUT THE HEAVY DOOR of the ladder truck as she exiting the vehicle, feet thudding hard onto the ground as she jumped. The overhead blaring lights still flashed in all directs as looked up at the women. A rescue, like most of their calls nowadays.
The blonde woman brought the straps of the harness around her shoulders and waist as she now stood atop of the ladder truck with her captain, along with Eddie and Buck. Hunter cocked her head as she eyed the mother who hung half through the floor of her own balcony. "I don't think that's up to code..."
"Help!" The cries of the mother sounded out, her legs and feet wailing around as she tried desperately to find something to get a hold of.

The blonde reached the top next to Buck in time to hear an older man with wide eyes filled with surprise say, "I'm going to cook inside..."
