   Fire Department Involved MVA

   September 8, 2022

   *My moment of horror is broken up as I see the tarp in the corner of my eye. I snap out of it and look at Valentine.*
   ’Wha..What..I…Yes’ without having understood what Valentine said, I grab the tarp, drop the hose and cover up the firefighter. I return to the hose, pick it up and continue my walk around finding no hot spots anymore.

   Fire Department Involved MVA

   September 7, 2022

   *Having a charged line once again I quickly put out the smoldering in the compartment. I walk around the flipped truck to check for any smoke or glowing. As I pass by the front I see the possibly dead firefighter and stop right in place. I stare at him in shock. In a seconds it’s all gone. He had his whole life ahead and it’s just gone with a snap of a finger… it stand there and just look in disbelief as the blood is still slowly flowing from underneath the cab. Not fast though as it probably starts to harden already.*

   Fire Department Involved MVA

   September 7, 2022

   As I heard „one fatality” my heart drops and my knees weaken. Fuck. A life gone just with a snap of a finger. I still see some thin smoke coming from one compartment in the back. I grab myself a halligan tool and open up 3 deformed compartments. The one holding the buzz saw I still smoldering. I grab the nozzle again ‘Cook some water please!’

   Fire Department Involved MVA

   September 6, 2022

   Hearing that waters coming I can feel the line getting charged. I move a bit closer and start spraying the fire. It’s rather gentle since I don’t know if there is anyone in the vicinity and I don’t want to drown them. It’s rather a small fire and is put out quiet quickly. I shut the nozzle again. ‘Fire out!’

   Fire Department Involved MVA

   September 6, 2022

   *Arriving on scene I hop out and watch in disbelief as I see the big puddle of blood and the soaked coat hanging there. My moment of shock I quickly interrupted as I here the words ‘Fire in the back!’ I quickly grab a line, connect it to the outlet, pop a nozzle on it and get in position*
   ’Line pulled! Im ready for water!’ *For a moment I don’t see the gruesome image*

   *Ah the tones drop I run to the bay, jump in my pants and boots and just grab my coat and helmet. I hop in the truck. Hearing that one of our trucks is involved my heart drops. I don’t say a word for the duration of the drive as I’m busy thinking of what situation might be ahead*

    Person Stuck in Swing

    August 18, 2022

    ‘It really starts to hurt’ the girl says while holding her legs and tears start to form in her eyes. 
    ‘Try to stay calm you’ll be out of here in no time.’ I turn to Noel and say rather quietly so the girl won’t hear: ‘We should make it quick. I think the blood flow got worse after we partially lifted her and put her back. Don’t want this to turn ugly.’

   Fire Department Involved MVA

   MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT, BAY STREET AND SOUTH NINTH STREET, FORT SHANNON. ENGINE 1, LADDER 1, RESCUE 1, UNIT 22, DEPUTY 1, MEDIC 1, MEDIC 2, MEDIC 43, MEDIC 42, OFFICER 1, EDO-1. MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT, BAY STREET AND SOUTH NINTH STREET, FORT SHANNON. ENGINE 1, LADDER 1, RESCUE 1, UNIT 22, DEPUTY 1, MEDIC 1, MEDIC 2, MEDIC 43, MEDIC 42, OFFICER 1, EDO-1. BAY STREET AND SOUTH NINTH STREET FOR MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT. 
   SCSD TRAFFIC UNITS IN AREA OF FORT SHANNON SOUTH RIVER, RESPOND TO FIRE DEPARTMENT INVOLVED MVA, POSSIBLE FATALITIES, BAY STREET AND SOUTH NINTH STREET. 
   Listening to the radio traffic, I hear that the fire in South River is starting to clear up, some of the extra apparatus are leaving the scene, RIT, Logistics, and ladder 14. I mark the units as returned to service and adjust the timers for RIT and Logistics as they're well outside of their regular run. A few minutes pass and the phone rings.
   "911 Where is your emergency."
   "One of your trucks just like did a flip."
   "Okay sir, I need you to confirm your location."
   "I'm on Bay Street, right by the end of the park. I don't know, I think ninth?"
   I confirm on the ALI that this looks like the right location. "Sir, what do you mean one of our trucks did a flip?"
   "A Fire Truck, like with a ladder"
   "Okay, sir, I'm sending emergency services, is the truck upright?"
   "No, it's like, not totally upside down, but you know, it's really bad. There's a guy just hanging out of the door. I think he's dead."
   My heart drops. I start to give instructions for him to check on the scene, and while I wait for him to get there, I key the mic for the radio. "Ladder 14, ERT." Nothing. "Ladder 14." Still no answer. That's our involved truck.
   I tone out the incident, and assign an upgraded alarm, sending extra resources to the scene, as well as notifying Aylward.

   Person Stuck in Swing

   ENGINE 1, SHILOH CIRCLE PARK, EXTRA SERVICE, PERSON STUCK IN SWING, ENGINE 1, SHIHLOH CIRLCE PARK, PERSON STUCK IN SWING, ENGINE 1, EXTRA SERVICE
   Taking myself off of the Not Ready feature, I see the 911 line come to life almost instantly. Of course. 
   "911, where is your emergency?"
   "Shiloh Circle. Like the playground."
   Typing the address, I select playground.
   "Tell me exactly what is happening"
   "Um, it's not really an emergency, but like we don't know who else to call."
   "Okay, tell me what's happening and I can help you." It's not really an emergency like oh he's dead and you don't want to bother anyone, or oh you've got a splinter. 
   "Well, my friend was fooling around and now she's stuck in the swing, like the baby one. We've been trying for like ten minutes and just can't get her out!"
   "Okay, if she hurt?"
   "I don't think so, she's like. Her legs are kinda red. Like they're being squeezed really tight up in the leg holes?"
   I gather some more patient information, entering it all in while the toner alerts Engine 1 to respond. Based off the questions, it's not a medical run yet, though if we don't respond, it'll definitely turn into one.
   Patient: 16 Year old Female, conscious and alert, normal vitals, stuck in swing, reporting no injuries, possible circulation restriction in lower extremities by swing.

I escalate to state and county units hoping someone can pick it up before I have to order them to the scene*

   Lift Assist - Delayed Evacuation

   Started by A. Tai · January 16, 2021

   Ladder 1, Respond to ERT, Second Floor communications washroom, lift assist. Possible Hazmat. Centre undergoing delayed evacuation. 
    
   *Not wanting to wait this out anymore, I think it's time. Looking at the looks on my colleagues faces, it clearly is. I key up the computer, activating the make busy on my terminal, and watch as the rest do the same. I alert the next county's PSAP of the evacuation and dispatch ladder 1. We each grab the cell phone assigned to our terminal for evacuation purposes, sign in and start making our way out. Before I leave, I initiate a the call for Big Jim.*
   'Jim, fire department is on the way, we're heading to the redundant centre.'
   *As we make our way downstairs, 1201 has the engine running and we climb aboard. As we each sit down and sign in, our phones come active and we start rerouting 911 calls back to us.*
   *Waiting for Ladder 1 to call a response, I look up their unit cell phone to provide the more sensitive deals. As I do, I feel the command post lurch forward and move into traffic, moving us to the secondary centre until ours is deemed safe again. If it ever can be.*
   'Who would've thought lunch would turn into this.'
