Bay area

Recommended Posts

*Having gone through M7's stock and restocking what's needed after roll call I head outside of the bay to have a cigarette.  Pulling out a Winston from my pack as I step out on the freshly paved asphalt I put the cig between my lips and light it up.  As I take a drag I look out at my surroundings.  There's not much; just trees and fields.  Of the buildings I can see there's not one that looks like it's over 2 stories tall.  As I exhale smoke I can only think to myself that maybe I'll get to sleep throughout most of this shift.*

*I walk out to the bay, looking over the truck. It felt a little nostalgic, throwing me back to when I was a kid, climbing around on the firetrucks in the volunteer station at home. That truck had been replaced years ago, though, at that department. I affectionately pat the nose of the truck.*

'You might be old, but I bet you'll still do us just fine for this shift.'

*I start looking it over, making sure everything on the truck checked out.*

*I walk out to the bay, smiling at the Mack. I had worked on an engine just like it at Engine 14 when I was hired. We had put in a ton of work on that engine - it was new then, and fires were a lot more common back then. That Mack had been a warhorse. I had ridden backwards and wheeled it all over Delmore. And now, nearly thirty years later, here I was working on one again. It looked to be in decent shape, actually. Probably the pride of this fleet. Mack made a good truck back in the day, even though they didn't make fire apparatus anymore. I open the bay door and hop into the truck, cranking it up so I can pull it onto the apron and give it some TLC.*

‘ holy hell , i dident think these were around anymore’ * i say as i walk into the bay seeing dave pull out the engine the station might need to be demoed and  rebuilt but judgeing from the sound of the engine,we might not be totally screwed* ‘sounds strong’ * i move to stow my gear aboard the truck* ‘ want or need any help?’

*Heading out to the bay I see that the engine was brought outside.  That's fine.  Wanted to go through my gear to make sure I have everything before getting it on the truck.  So as I squat down near where the engine used to be I open up a large bag and begin going through the brand new gear the department provided me with.*

*I finish up doing the shift paperwork and walk outside to the bays where I see the new girl who I assigned as a third getting in the cab of the ambulance*

'Why in the fuck is the new person in the front?'

*Listening to Breslin's reply I raise a concerned eyebrow and sigh.  Well the new girl's action doesn't necessarily mean she bad in the field but professionally it doesn't bode well either.*

'Seriously?  Well, as long as she knows what she's doing medically.'

'Well, I guess she's going to learn when she gets back then.'

*Not much else I can say.  Don't know the girl and so long as she doesn't kill anyone I doubt I'll care enough to badmouth her.*

'Anyways, changing subjects.  Though I'm sure I know the answer can I interest you in babysitting Saturday night?  Me and Martin would like to go out on a date.'

*As we get back to the station I get out and help Dave back the engine back in the bay by spotting for him.   When the engine is back in it's spot I take off my gear and put it back in the spot they were in before the call.  With nothing else to do after that I head on up to the lounge to watch some TV or something.*

'We'll figure it out when the time comes'

*I reply to Breslin following her outside for her cigarette; I'm not typically a smoker myself, except for when I'm drinking, but I always hang outside with the smokers. I lean against a wall outside taking a sip of my coffee and taking in the morning air*

*I light my cigarette up as I step outside with Doug. I lean against the frame to the bay door. I point the pack at Doug not knowing if hes a smoker or not but I dont want to seem like an asshole.*

'Want one?'
