Fire Rescue Duty

Chapter Seventeen

Chapter 17

Knowing that the threat of Taten's pack will show. Kristen started patrolling more around her territory.

With Lance being in her pack now, she had made him her Bate. With his experience, there was no questions to it. Not that he was her mate. Kristen was fair and she didn't play games when it comes to her pack.

Sleeping in Lance's arms, they both jumped when Kristen's pager broke her department's tone, "Freemont to Dewy fire, Fairstone, Tappen fire we have a structure fire at 541 County Road 471." Dispatch came over before repeating.

Calming Lance down, she quickly explained as she was getting dressed. Kissing him goodbye she rushed out the where she met up with Emily, Dallas and Justin as he was in. Emily had moved over to the other house a few days after Lance had moved in.

Emily raced over towards Kristen's old work truck and climbed in while Dallas joined Justin in his truck. Kristen leadeing they way, they hurried down the driveway an onto 75 they met up with Manny and Carey pulling into the station.

Quickly donning their gear, "Kris, you and two others take Brush 154 for the foam. The rest can ride with me. Whoever shows up later can take the other Brush and Engine." Manny called out.

Emily and Dallas went with Kristen in the Brush while Justin went with Manny and Carey in Engine 56. It wasn't long after they put themselves in route that someone arrived and put Engine 55 in route.

Arriving on scene, the structure was a trailer house. They had to move quickly as it doesn't take long for a trailer to burn to the ground and if it's old, it'll burn even faster.

Justin and Carey were first to packed out, Dallas and Emily wasn't far behind as they had to hurry over to the Engine for a pack.

"Dallas, you help Carey and Justin, Emily, come get this red line and start working the foam in." Kristen told the two probies as this was their first structure fire.

Seeing the unsure looks on Dallas and Emily's face, "Bring the pack and mask over here. I'll help you put it on."

Even though Emily had been on another department she had never packed out. While they were making their way over, Kristen started gotting the foam ready.

"Ok, put your arms through the straps like you would a backpack then jump just a bit. When you feel the pack go up, pull the side straps down to snug it to you."

Once they had that done, "Now grab the waste belt and snap it together."

Grabbing them, they looked at her. Smiling, "Yes, they look like the old seatbelt fastener, I know....Now once you have them locked, pull their straps back and snug them too."

Once the packs were on, she reached in their leg pocket and pulled out their nomex, "This would been easier if you had put this on before you packed out." she told them as she helped them tuck in the bottom of the nomex in their jacket.

Helping them with their mask, "Pull the strapps back. Snug it tight your air won't leak out." Putting her hand over the regulator hole, "Breath in." she told Dallas. Seeing the mask suck tight against his face, "Good." she moved over to Emily and done the same.

"Now turn around and let me turn your pack on." she told Dallas. Once the bell gave a quick chirp and the regulator vibrated or a split second to indicate the air was on, Kristen moved over to Emily

Pulling their nomex over their head to cover everything but the front of their mask. Looking them both in the eyes, "When your regulator starts to vibrate and your bell rings, start making your way out. NEVER leave your partner. Make sure they come with you and if they run out first, go with them."
