Into the Fire

Chapter 7

-MATT CHASEY POV-

I woke up in a strange place not remembering where I was. Than all of a sudden it came back to me I am at Gabby's. I hear something I jump off the couch and ran over to the noise it was Gabby walking out of the bathroom. "Why are you out of bed" I say. "I had to pee" "Than you call for me" "You were asleep" "Yelling works to" "Okay I don't want to be on bed rest" She says. "Come on" I say as I pick her up bridal style. I set her down pointed and said "Stay". Luck for me she stayed and listened this women was stubborn beyond belief.

-GABBY DAWSON POV-

-3 WEEKS LATER-

Tomorrow I can go back on shift which I am excited about I have been out for three weeks two of which I was on bed rest, which was torture. I hated every minute of it, but the only good thing was for two weeks I had my favorite person in the world looking after me. It was nice since the accident me and Matt have been out on five dates, and now I can finally call him my boyfriend. I was driving home from the store when my phone rang I pulled over and answered it. "Hello" "Hey Gabby" it was Matt "So I am working tonight just to let you know everyone from second shift is, well everyone, but you" "Oh okay why" "Just because we all need the money" "Okay well have fun I will see you tomorrow" "Oh yeah you get to work again you excited" "Like you wouldn't believe". "Well I will call you later and if you do not answer I am coming over there got it" "Got it". He hung up and I started driving again. When I got home I started putting stuff away. After that I went upstairs for a nap. For some odd reason I am really tired today.

-TWO HOURS LATER-

I woke up to my house filled with smoke. I started coughing, while getting up and walking out of my room I got downstairs and there was flames shooting out from the walls both doors were blocked by flames. I was about to go upstairs when the stairway was covered in flames. I left my phone up there and I couldn't call for help. I hear sirens in the distance please say it is fire house 51 please let it be them.

-MATT CASEY POV-

-AT THE FIREHOUSE-

We were planning a surprise for Dawson to show her we were happy she was back. The alarms went off.

TRUCK 81 SQUAD 3 AMBULANCE 61 CAR ACCIDENT 14TH AND NEWBERG

We raced to our rigs and turned on the sirens. 81 was first on scene "We'll take the van squad take the car". When we got to the van I saw a woman trapped inside "81 there's a woman in here Herman get the jaws of life". When he brought the jaws over we opened up the van and got the woman out. She was safe and that is all that matters now she will live. She had a few broken bones, but hey at least she is alive. After the accident we went to fill up the rig with gas. I hated having to do this cause sometimes I see the one truck company that is a disappointment to the entire CFD. He is the worst Lieutenant you will ever meet. He doesn't care about his men all he cares about is climbing the latter to being a chief which I don't think that will ever happen all chiefs, except two hate him, along with many firefighters, Davis worst person in the CFD.

We pulled up no other truck company was their luckily. We filled up when we got a call over the radio "81 can you take in an accident involving two emergency response vehicles" "Copy that main 81 in route". When we pulled up Squad 6 was upside down and squad 14 was on its side. It was bad, and I mean really bad. "Mouch, Otis, Cruz take squad 6 Darden, Herman with me we got Squad 14". The driver was pinned and one of the men in the back had a broken leg to the point where you could see the bone. We got the Lieutenant out first and then the driver. Both were okay, lucky for them that they walked away with a few scratches. One of the men in the back had a crushed arm, and the other had a broken leg.  Squad 6 was hurt worse than anyone in squad 14. The driver of squad 6 had bar through his shoulder, their lieutenant had a cracked skull, one of the men in the back would lose his eye, the last man didn't make it. We found out the driver of squad 6 ran a red light, and got one his own killed. I was sickened when I heard about this. We went back to the house and passed he boat for the family of our fallen brother.

-JAKE DAVIS POV-

I am the lieutenant of truck 67. We aren't a very strict house so I am basically the chief of my men. Our chief never even leaves the house. But there are those days when I wonder why am I not chief yet I do my job, and take orders. I just need one great save and I will hopefully be a chief.  The bells all of a sudden went off pulling me from my thoughts.

TRUCK 67, ENGINE 33, AMBULANCE 75 HOUSE FIRE 1918 NORTH WALLBASH

We raced to the trucks. Who knows maybe this could be the save that gets me to be the chief of my own house. When we pulled up there was a pickup in the driveway with a CFD EMT sticker on the back. "Heads up one of our own may be inside Chance, and Manning vent the roof everyone else get ready to hit this with silver bullets" "Lieutenant what about search and rescue" "I will handle that it is too dangerous to send one of you in" they all nodded taking their orders and following them to T. We jumped out and I masked up the door was blocked so I went looking for a window that wasn't blocked by flames. I broke the window and climbed in I was in the kitchen "FIRE DEPARTMENT CALL OUT" I made my way to the living room where I saw a girl in a CFD EMT sweatshirt on the ground staying low coughing "Hey don't worry I've got you what's your name" "Gabby Dawson PIC at fire house 51" she said while coughing. "I am lieutenant Davis from fire house 60 truck 67" I said as I carried her out bridal style. We got out of the house just as it flashed there was no way we could save her home. When it flashed we fell to the ground I covered to protect her from the glass and flames, then picked her up again and took her to the medics. "Thank....you.....Lieutenant...." "Call me Jake" "Thank..... you......Jake" she said having a hard time catching her breath. I smiled at her, and then I thought her house should know what happened. I bet they don't even know one of their own was in danger.  I said into my radio "Fire house 51 do you copy" "What's up" they said into the radio "This is Lieutenant Davis from truck 67 we just recovered a smoke victim named Gabby Dawson said she worked at 51 just thought you would want to know".
