"BLS-1 received, responding to the fire standby."

*i climb in the drivers seat. fire the ladder up activate the emergency lights and put the ladder in drive and releasing the parking break*
'Ladder 1 responding'
*i turn on the power call and start reving the "Q"

*I get out of my seat in the break room open the door and run out to the bay. As I see Bruce jumping into his rig then I open up mine as he turns on his lights. I switch on the battery and turn on the engine. As the Pumper comes to life, I put on my seatbelt and open the bay doors. As Ladder 1 leaves the station, I make sure everyone's in. After flicking on the lights, I put the pumper in drive and slowly drive out making sure I stay a reasonable distance away from Ladder 1. I press on the EQ as we get onto the main roads and I step on the gas as we turn onto the street.*
'Pumper 11 en route. ETA 3 minutes.'
