Before John Gage became one of the first Paramedics in L. A. County, he struggled through the training to become a fireman. Being part Native American and at the top of his graduation class from the training academy left him open for more pranks played on boots at his first station, but he was determined to prove himself. This story introduces many of the characters from the TV series in an original way. Since the show started with the paramedic training, the process of getting there was open for the imagination and mine got pretty creative. This is what I came up with. Many of the characters are original. Enjoy!
