Call came in from a coworker when she heard a loud bang. She rushed out front to find her coworker trapped under a car fallen from the second story display. She pressed the emergency assemble button on her pager to alert the other janitor to meet at the muster station, but he did not respond. Car platform has fallen and crushed the victim. He is still alive and breathing however. Fuel is leaking and there are power lines in the platform that may or may not be loose on the ground near the fuel. Enter with caution. RP can lead Breaker box, or in the event of it being too dangerous to enter, there is a power hookup out back that can be disabled for the time being.

I hop into my gear, get in the pumper and take off...

**The alarm goes off and I get on my gear, Turn on the Squad, wait for the guys to get in and drive out with Pumper 11**

"Squad 1 Responding"

*I walk out to BLS-1, start the engine, pull onto the apron and pick up the radio*

"BLS-1 receives our standby, would you still like a response from us or should we standby at H-Q?"

"COPA Ladder 1 responding code 3" I say into the radio as I throw the Ladder in drive, pull out the garage and hit the Q siren as I enter traffic.

"BLS-1, standby at station following orders from either Fire or COPA. Tune to Alpha channel to receive call out orders"
(Alpha channel is the call. The channel is denoted by the letter after the call number. If there is no number, assume echo channel)

I run to the ambulance, turn on the lights and say"ALS 1 responding Code 3."

"10-4 we'll standby at Station, monitor Channel A-Alpha."

*I put the ambulance in Park. I look down at the center console, I keep one radio on dispatch and lower the volume, I switch the second radio to channel Alpha and listen.*

I get on mt bunker gear, open the garage door and hop on the squad. ´here we go!´

*I finish putting on my turnout coat and stare out the window as we scream down the street*

'So McEvoy!' *I call over the siren* 'When we get on scene what do you want me to do? Just curious so i don't have to ask when we get there and waste time.'
