I run to the squad and put on my B.A, get a TIC an a hooligan tool. 'Let me pop the hood, than you can spray inside Hannahan!'
I walk up to the car and put the halligan under the hood, the lock melted, I think for a second. 'Guys, get a circular saw, we'll need to cut a V around the lock to open the hood'
'Hold on...the hood might be hot.' *I spray the top of the hood and try to spray through the cracks on the hood to the engine.* 'Alright, you're good now.' *I back up and switch off the nozzle so I could back up faster. I move to the side then kneel down to get the underside of the burning car.*
'Thanks Hannahan!' I start the circular saw and make a V shape so I can open the hood. I finish cutting and put down the saw. 'Okay Hannahan, 1,2,3..*pops hood* there are flames in the back!'
((http://www.kirkwood.edu/etc/fireschool/trainingstandards.pdf senario 10)) "Hey make sure you keep the nozzel off untilJansen is done!" I yell thinking the best firefighter is the one that can fight fires. I run to the Ladder and grab a supply hase and run it to the pumper. I remove the cap on the discharge and screw on the supply line "Charging!" I yell before I open up the discharge and the line fills. I go over to the Ladder and grab a second attack line and hook it to the last connection charge the line and start laying foam.
*i drag my cross lay around to the other side of the car, and open it up and spray into the v shap in the hood.* 'I think were making a knock on this thing!'
I check it with my TIC and get covered in foam 'Thanks Davis!' I say with a grin and a thumbs up. 'We got a few hotspots left in the left upper and lower corner, let's knock it down!'
(Thanks Bruce) *I get done with the bottom of the car and turn off the nozzle. I stop spraying and put down the hose. I pick up my irons and I get to the back of the car and jam my irons into the trunk. I pop it open and see no smoke or fire.* 'You guys might wanna get these things for the girls. Looks like they were going to the airport or something. There are big suitcases back there.' * I walk around to the front of the car and pick up my hose and start spraying again.*

*i shut down my hose line and set it down on the ground. walk up to the car.* 'well guys i think its safe to say the fires out' *i walk back to the ladder and shut down my hose line and disconect it from the truck and walk it out, walk back over to the ladder and start packing my attack line back on the truck.*
'Check the glove compartment! haha remember what happened when we didn't the last time.' *I start to pack up my line and disconnect all of the couplings. I go to check the glove compartment. I open it up and there is no smoke. I sigh a sigh of relief and take my mask off. I swithc my air off and take it off. I start draining the hose then connect it back again.* 'Hey Bruce or Tim, can one of you guys help me pack this up?' *I run over to the supply line and turn off the hydrant. I diconnect the supply line and disconnect that and drain it. I walk over tired to the pumper and decide to do the hard one first. I grab the supply line and start pulling it back onto the big compartment.*
*I drag my line pack to the truck, disconnect it, and drain it. Then I roll it back up and put it on the truck. I take off my coat, grab some water, and turn sit in the cab.*
'Wait, shouldn't we check the car with the TIC real quick?'
'Yeah, I guess so Davis. Thanks man....hard pulling this thing.' *I tug and fold the Supply line as Bruce helps me get it onto the hose bed.* 'Whoooo....' *I get the last coupling up to me and attach the Velcro to the hydrant wrench.* 'Alright now we just have to do these two crosslays here.' *I get up into the top of the pumper and get ready to pull.* 'Davis can you check it for me please?'
*i disconect the supply line from the pumper and pack it back on the ladder. and drag the second attack line back and repack it. i walk over to the car and pick up the cribbing and place it back on the ladder. then get our spreaders and cutters and set them back on there pull out drawer on the side of the ladder and latch then down then rewind the cords. then i grab a broom a shovel and a empyy 5 gallon bucket to clean up the kitty litter* 'hey guys can i get some help with this?'

I take off my B.A and go over to the van 'I'm gonna check the van the TIC real quick and then I'll pack up the spreaders and cutters of the squad' I check the van with the TIC and find nothing. 'Fire is out guys, let me help pack up!'
"Jansen to COPA, Fire is out, we're packing up now"
I pack up the spreaders and cutters and put them back in the compartment, then I disconnect the last crosslay, drain it and put it back. I take of my helmet and sit in the drivers seat, get some water and put off some emergency lights.
*i finsih sweeping up and put a lid on the bucket and place the bucket in side the car. pick up the ladders hallogan and place it back in its compartment. climb in the drivers seat and turn on the heat*
*I put my broom away and put the wheel chocks back into the compartment. I then take off my jacket and enjoy the cold air hitting my sweater. I then remove my bunker pants and put it into a compartment. I close all compartment doors and sit back inside the pumper, turning up the radio.* 'Im too antsy to go to sleep. I checked inventory, what should I do now?' *I walk over to S-1 and Ladder 1 and start up a conversation.* 'That fire was hard to take out man.'
I roll down the window as Hannhan walk up, 'Hannahan would you mind to check the front of the squad for dents and scratches? I think I bumped it in to a pole' I try to hide my grin since I have a little joke in mind
*i see the little grin on Jansens face as Hannahan walks around to the front of the squad. reach over and set the radio to my favorite country station and sit back and watch the show.*
I see Bruce looking and give a thumbs up, than just as Hannahan looks at the fender, I blast the airhorn and flick the Wail. I laugh and my grin gets bigger 'Gotcha Hannahan!, good for you we dont have a rumbler siren' I need to watch my back at the station, he probaly wants revenge.
Then I see 2 tow trucks arrive. "Jansen to COPA, tows are onscene, can we clear?"
'It's alright, I gotcha.' *Tryin' to deafen me huh? I got ya, I think plotting my revenge. I then see the tow truck guys coming and wave to the tow truck guys.* 'Hey how ya doin. Good, good. How are you? 'Can't complain.' Yeah, woah! You guys did this? *The tow truck driver attaches the winch to the bottom of the car.* 'Yeah...we did this. Haha. Alright imma let you do your job.' *I smile as I walk away. I look at Jansen and give him an eery smile. I then get into my truck and put my headset on.*
I see the cars get towed and Hannahan smiling, I'm not getting near the Pumper for a while I think by myself. * I put a CD of AC/DC in the CD Player, * 'I love this song' I say and hum along 'Im on the highwaaaay to hell'
I see Hannahan waving and thinking that I might be on the highway to hell. 'Im gonna hid my bunker gear for sure' I say to myself and grab the radio "Oi Hannahan, creating revenge plans?"
*i reach over and grab my head set and put it on and sit there druming my fingers on the steering wheel to the tune of "my kind of party" while waiting for COPA to clear us.*
'Don't you worry.' I say into the mic. *I pick up my cell and text Jansen 'I'll give you a hint I can't believe it!' I giggle as I send it. After that I text 'text me, don't talk on the Tac channel'. The tow truck guys pack up and leave and I wave goodbye.*
"Ladder 1 to COPA tow units are clear. are we clear to go in service?" *i say into the mic and start fiddling with my name plate on my shirt. getting anxious. i reach over and grab my can of chew and put a dip in.*
*i hear us cleared put the ladder in drive and release the parking brake. grab the mic* "ladder 1 in service returning" *i shut off the emergency lights as i pull away from the scene*
"Pumper 11 in service ready for callout." 'Alrighty.' *I get the pumper out of park and and follow ladder on the Interpass back to the station. It's a short way back considering that were stationed near the interpass anyway. I start humming another one bites the dust and tapping my finger on the steering wheel. I turn into the driveway spacee for pumper 11 and back it in. I quickly put it in park, turn it off and connect the exhaust pipe.*
