Truck 81. Alastor, Nifty. Random
Squad 5. Husker, Pentious
Ambo 62. Charlie and Vaggie
The peaceful atmosphere of the firehouse was broken by the alarms going off.
"Truck 81, Ambo 62, Squad 5, battalion 32, high rise fire on north and main" came the voice over the intercom, the doors busted out as the crew rushed from their quarters and to the rigs where their gear sat down on the floor, stepping into their boots and gear, the early morning sun shined through the windows as the doors opened up, the trucks came to life as they raced out of the building and down the streets with the sirens going. Lucifer lead the team up front with his battalion car. Getting to the scene he pulled off to the side and got out, motioning for the trucks to park in certain spots before he turned his attention and looked up at the high rise. He made his way inside and found and manager running up to him.
"Fire is on the 18th floor, we have almost 500 residents in the building" the guy said as Lucifer looked at him.
"Alright, Squad 5, give me a primary search on Floor 18, Truck 81 get me a 3 inch hose line up there and aid Squad in the search. Truck 24 and 36 help evacuation and get me a search on the other floors" Lucifer called out through the radio as the other companies had started to arrive. Before he turned and looked at Ambo.
"Charlie, Vaggie, set up traige here and call it as you see it" he said as they nodded at this and moved to prepare, before he got back on the radio.
"And move these trucks down the street, I want a clear path for ambulances coming and going from here" he said as he laid out his game plan for this fire.
"You got it cheif" came replies back as they started their way up the stairs.
The companies started up the stairwells, carrying O2 tanks and rolls if houses and setting them down at 17. A staging spot for them to grab supplies and re-gear up when fighting the fire above them. Husker looked at a fireman as he was trying to screw the hose onto the stand pipe for water.
"I told you to clean that hose!"
"He did, I watched him do so" Husker said as he looked at the candidate struggle with the house.
"Alright..here give me the hose"
"No I can do it....got it!" He said as he screwed it on.
"Go easy in him, he's doing great" Husker said as he looked at the guy as the captain looked at him.
"Mind your business Husk. This is my team" he said before grabbing the door.
"Lets go boys!"
"Harrison wait!" Husker called out before Harrison opened the door. The sudden rush of oxygen created a fireball that erupted back out into the stairwell and knocked them over and sent Harrison and the candidate backwards a bit.
"Harrison you good!" Husker asked as they moved over to him, he let out a little groan but nodded.
"Yeah, im good" they looked over at the candidate who was gripping onto the rail.
"He's locked up Harrison" Husker said as he looked at the kid.
"We dont have time. We gotta get going, radio down for someone to get him" Husker said to Harrison before reporting the condition to Lucifer.
Back downstairs Lucifer watched as Michael walked into the lobby. Putting on his turnout coat and helmet.
"What are you doing here" he asked as Michael put on his helmet.
"The mayor wanted me down here, to keep a eye on you, but had my radio on the whole way here" he said as he stood beside him now. Michael was deputy district Fire chief, so he held the highest rank in the department. Lucifers stare down with his brother was interrupted as Huskers voice came across the radio.
"18 no good Chief! Fire has it fully engulfed"
"Alright...Truck 81 attack that fire, Squad 5 redirect your primary to floor 19" Lucifer ordered as Michael looked at him.
"Your not searching 18?"
"You heard them, that floor is fully engulfed" Lucifer said before looking at all the victims coming down the stairs.
"Michael, can you handle this down here" Lucifer said as he looked at his brother who nodded his head. Lucifer and Michael didnt always get along on things, but when it came to situations like this they always put it behind them and focused on the task at hand. Lucifer ran and grabbed a mask and oxygen tank that was near the stairwell before taking off up the stairs to assist his teams. He got to floor 17 where he found Alastor swapping out his O2 tank for a fresh one.
"Al, your with me" he said as Alastor nodded. Once he got his tank replaced they moved up to floor 19 to assist with the search. Rounding the stairs they found a firefighter sitting on the stairs and gripping the railing on the 18th floor.
"Al, get him back downstairs, he's just gonna get in everyone's way" Lucifer said as he saw the firefighter sitting there, this was the exit for residents and also the path they needed to get up.
"What about you?" He asked as Lucifer opened the door.
"Dont worry about me. Get him out of the way" Lucifer ordered.
"Come on Kid, let's go" Al said as he looked at him before looking up at his helmet.
"Angel, thats your name right?" He asked only to get no response as Angel stood there breathing heavily having took a fireball to the face earlier when they had opened the door on floor 18.
"Come on Angel. You gotta work with me here. Just let go and I'll help you back downstairs" Al said as he tried to get something from him before turning around and watching as Lucifer opened the door and walked into the hallway looking for victims.
"Angel come on. Work with me here" he said a little more urgent.
"Im not a pushy guy here Angel. But your not giving me much of a choice. Get to your feet!" He said a little louder trying to get some response from him
"My chief just went into that fire by himself because of you!" Alastor shouted at the cadet who was panicked, holding onto a rail with a death grip like his life depended on it.
"Get on your feet and let's move!" He shouted as he reached down and grabbed his arm to pull him away.
"I..Im..not...strong enough..not like him" Angel finally said as he never let go of the rail. Alastor stopped as he looked at him.
"Strong as who?" He asked as he stood there.
"Uncle Andy...he was why I became a firefighter..he was fearless" he said as Alastor finally understood how he needed to approach this. He pulled off his helmet and got down on a knee infront of him.
"Angel, its ok to be afraid, im terrified right now myself, its your bodies natural instinct to stay away from this, but it is our job to save the lives of others feeling this way, you made it this far, at least help me get one person" He said with a little smile as another group of firefighters passed and went to the fire floor.
"I..dont think Im cut out for this" Angel said as he looked at him, before Alastor stood back up holding out a hand.
"Save 1 person...and you'll have your answer" he said before watching as Angel hesitated some before letting go of the railing and reaching up and grabbing onto his hand.
"Now grab that O2 bottle and let's go"
The fire raged on as the team battled the flames and fought to save as many lives as they could. Husker and Pentious worked their way through floor 19. Knocking on doors and calling out to people.
"Fire department, call out!"
"Help! In here!" A lady yelled back out. Husker moved and kicked the door in before going in as Pentious followed.
"Over here!" Came the voice. They saw a girl sitting on a desk with her window open.
"Is there anyone else here?"
"No, just me, the floors really hot. I think the fires right below us" she said quickly and a little panicked as Pentious walked over to her.
"I got this one Lieutenant!" Pentious called out to Husker who nodded at this and left the room to keep searching.
"Im Pentious, Whats your name?" He asked her as he tried to ease up her nerves a little. It was a common thing to see here in these situations.
"Cherri" she said as she saw Pentious smile at her trying to calm her.
"Alright Cherri, your gonna follow me out of here, we got a clear shot. Gonna be just like a walk in the park I promise" he said as he gave her his hand. She looked at him before nodding and hopping off the desk and following him. A few moments later they was back in the stairwell.
"My buddy here is gonna get you back down past the fire"
"Wait..your not coming with me?" She asked as he gave her another smile.
"I gotta get back in there, you'll be safe, I promise" he said before turning and going back into the smokey hallway, all while her eyes never left Pentious.
"Be careful" she said softly to herself as she watched the door shut.
"Attention to all companies above the fire floor, we are missing a women and a small child. I want. Them. Found" the voice said loud and firm across the channels. Lucifer had moved up the floors and was working on floor 24.
"Fire department call out!" He said as he scanned the hallways before kicking one of the doors in and looking around, finding it to be a electrical closet, he watched as the smoke rose up from the wiring.
"Michael, we got a problem here, the fire is reaching this floor" he said as Michael stopped and looked down at his radio.
"On 24?" He radio'd back as the fire erupted from the floor gap making Lucifer slam the door shut.
"Affirmative!" He called back as Michael turned and looked at the manager.
"Is the wiring in this building original" he asked as the manager thought for a second.
"Uhh...no we did a remodel last year, replaced all the copper wiring for fiber"
"That stuffs a lot thinner, it leaves gaps that have to be filled" Michael said as the manger put his hands up a little.
"I just work here..if corners were cut I dont know anything about it" he said as Michael thought for a moment.
"Attention to all companies. We are loosing control of this fire...finish up your searches and retreat below the fire floor" he ordered.
Lucifer kicked in another door and looked around, finding a lady on the floor.
"I have a victim on 24!" He called out as he moved over to her. Finding the lady unconscious on the floor, following the direction of her hand he looked over into the other room and and saw a crib.
"Requesting assistance to grab them!" He radio'd out as he moved and grabbed the small child before going back to the mom, pulling out webbing from his pocket he tied it around her and started to drag her across the floor and out the door, the fire had spread rapidly and was already on the walls and moving towards him quickly.
"Where's my assistance!" He radio'd out as he grunted some trying to drag the lady one handed while also holding the kid against his jacket. He watched as 2 lights appeared at the end of the hallway and was making his way towards.
"Cheif!" Alastor called out as they got to him quickly.
"Take them, I need to do a final sweep" he said as Alastor took the kid and Angel grabbed the webbing and starting to pull the lady away from the fire as Lucifer moved back to the room for the final sweep, being quick but thorough he finished the sweep of the room before opening the door and seeing the hallway fully engulfed in flames now, he quickly shut the door realizing that escape route wasn't an option now.
Back down on the ground, Pentious laid one of the victims down on the stretcher before leaning over and putting his hands on his knees, holding himself up some as he took a quick breather.
"Mayday! Mayday!" Came across the radio and instantly he stood up straight, tuning out all the sounds around him as he grabbed his radio.
"Firefighter trapped! Assistance needed on the 24th floor!" Came a voice, without even hesitating he took off running across the street and back inside the hotel, no longer feeling out of breath, filled with a new source of adrenaline as him and some other firefighters raced up the stairs towards the Mayday call. The group of firefighters raced up the stairs in a line, grabbing gear from 17 and going straight to 24. Hooking up the hoses and putting on their mask they wasted no time as they yanked the door open and started to attack the fire.
"Which room are you in?" They radio'd out.
"9" he called back as they now focused on getting to that room, thanks to their efforts Lucifer soon had a escape route.
"Your clear, get out!" Pentious called over the radio and watched as the door opened before the chief darted down the hallway back to the safe zone in the stairwell.
"Good work guys" he said as he coughed a little.
They stayed for the next few hours fighting the fire and getting it all mopped up before they had it done and was able to return to the firehouse.
"Great work today guys" Lucifer said as everyone hopped out. Later in the day Alastor walked down the hall before knocking on Lucifers door, he looked up from his computer screen and waved him in.
"What can I do you for Al" he said as he leaned back and sat his glasses down on the desk.
"I need to talk to you about someone" Alastor said as he sat down at the desk.
At the local bar after shift.
"Ah Angel. Glad you could make it!" Alastor said with a smile as Angel sat down across from him.
"Well when you texted, I thought why not" he said as he looked at him but not really as enthused, more bummed out.
"I quit the fd...put my notice papers in today, they are gonna have me work the depo for a week before letting me go" he said as Alastor nearly spit out his drink.
"Wh..but why?" He asked ad Angel looked up at him.
"You know why" he said in a disappointed tone. Alastor looked at him and sighed a little.
"Look kid, Life doesnt always go the way you want it to...but you came here to make a difference, if you give up now. Think of all the lives you won't save tomorrow" Alastor said as he sat across from Angel at the bar table. Angel sat there listening to the advice and was about to say something before Lucifer walked over to the table holding a bottle of beer in his hand.
"So this is the guy you was telling me about is it Alastor?" He asked as he held out a hand for Angel to shake.
"Lucifer. Chief of firehouse 125" he said as he shook Angel's hand.
"Alastors been telling me all about you and we'd be honored to have you join us down there" he said with a smile.
"I...appreciate the offer...really I do, but I already put my notice in..you know this Alastor...I dont need charity here" he said as he looked at them.
"This isn't charity Angel...Im looking out for my friend, he needs a smoke eater he can count on, and he says your that guy" Lucifer said with a smile as he stood there beside Alastor with his arm leaning on Al's shoulder. Angel looked up from his chair at Lucifer before looking over at Alastor.
"You...said that about me?" He asked surprised at this. Alastor lowered the glass after taking a sip.
"Of course"
"Bu...but I froze...I locked up in that fire" Angel said as he wasn't believing what he was hearing.
"I watched you pull a lady out of a burning high rise, one of the worst fires ive seen in a while" Alastor said with a little hum as he brought the glass back up to his lips.
"Look Angel...I trust Alastors opinion as much as my own...so what do you say kid?" Lucifer asked with a smile. They watched as Angel looked at them before a small smile started to appear and he let out a little laugh.
"I...Yes...yes I will join your firehouse" he said before Lucifer and Alastor smiled at this.
"Welcome to the team kid. Next rounds on me" he said with a laugh before he left the table leaving Al and Angel alone again.
"Thank you Alastor...I...I dont even know what to say." He said as he looked back over at him.
"I promise I won't let you down" he said with a smile.
"Somehow....I know you won't kid" Alastor said as he returned the smile.
