"EMS-1 got it, Trulit Bank"

*I put the radio back on the clip on the dashboard, push the red "master" button and all of the lights come on. I put my left hand on the wheel and right hand down to the siren box and head to the bank*

"Ladder 1 en route, our ETA is four minutes."
*I put my headset on and I look around as I turns out of the station. I hit the Q and turn on the secondary siren and switch it to powercall. At intersections, I look around and hit the Q periodically. We arrive on scene before Pumper 11 and I jump out sizing up the scene.*
