Third Alarm Fire
LFA Due with Medical and Fire supports

*RA-1 pulls up on to the Union Street Staging area indicated by the EAT.*
"RA-1 to COPA, we're staging at Union Street."
*I get out and get in to my turnout gear. I go over and get the RIT and rehab equipment out and set up.*
"RA-1 has RIT est. at the Union Street Staging area."

*We pull out of the station and start on the road to the warehouse.*
"Ladder 1 to COPA, do you have any other info on the warehouse?"
*I put on my headset and begin talking over the Q and PA300.*
'Alright guys, I want two crosslays out and running as soon as we stop. John, Tufts, I want you guys to each grab a crosslay. Tim, help me get the ladder up and get the pump ready for water. Help P-11 with their and Jess, your on with Bruce and McEvoy. McEvoy, your in charge of Bruce so I want you in constant communication with me while your in there. Be careful in there and watch where your going.'
*We pull up to the front of the warehouse and I grab my radio and talk to COPA.*
"Ladder 1 to COPA, were on scene. Beginning HRES ops."

"COPA to L-1, venting is underway, please refer to my orders from EAT, you're to help with SAR Operations.. See if you can't get some of that fire down in back so the SAR team can get out of there once they have the men"

(Read my entire posts from now on please and thankyou)

' You got it LT.'

* I put my headset back on the rack and put my cover on. I feel the truck come to a halt and step out to get the crosslay. * Once I have the line in place and am in position I signal the Operator to charge *

' Ladder 1 Floan to Ladder 1 Command Ready to charge. '

"10-4 COPA, We have three people on SAR now. We'll attempt to extinguish the rear area."
*I put my radio down and wait hoping Pumper 11 could arrive to help us with water.*
'Everyone, make sure you have your SCBA on.'
*I go to my seat and swing my SCBA around my back, clip it up, put on my mask and start having air flow through.*
'There should be a standpipe around here somewhere. The crosslays won't go long enough.' I think to myslf.
"Ladder 1 to COPA, do we have any standpipes in the rear of the warehouse?"

*I jump out and put on my HRES air pack and grab the HRES pack and wait for Chris*

'Got It Lt.'
*I pack up and jump out of the ladder grabbing an axe and going over to Bruce to wait for Chris*

I walk into COPA with my uniform on. I turn on my computer and also grab a red bull. As I sit down I say " M.Daniels now second contact for this call. Update from all units please" I say while I take a sip of my drink

((God mod me for tonight, I'll be here tomorrow.))

"P-11 to scene were pulling up to the scene advise theres so much confusion were gonna pull up on scene then we'll have to hand lay the LDH if we can find a hydrant if not we'll have to find another company thats has a spare output and bum off them."

"P-11 to Copa Big bad bear on scene. I mean pumper 11 on scene."
*As we pull up on scene I flip off the siren and slow down cominig to a stop I put it in park and hit the parking brake, as I hope out I grab my jacket and throw it on I make sure the front is zipped and velcroed. Then I walk to the back and throw the chalk under the wheel, I contuine on the the extra scba tanks pull one out and flip ot on my back then I grab the mask and put it around my neck and connect it to the tank put dont start the air flow or put it on yet. I walk up and grab a cross lay put dont charge it yet.*
"Standing by waiting for breaching orders"

*I pull up behind P-11 and switch off the siren*
"Botfish to Garcia, we are on scene and awaiting orders"
*I jump out and put on my SCBA*

"Ladder 1 to COPA, we have SAR team on standby waiting for LFO Raven's orders. We will attempt to extinguish or slow down the spread of fire in the back."
(Ok)
'Alright Tim, you ready? Let's get the outriggers out over here. John, Tufts, your lines doesn't look like it will reach so each of, get a high rise pack, unhook one of the couplings on your line and attach the high rise pack to the couplings. That should give you at least another 50 feet or so.'
*I grab the outrigger plates under the pump panel smoothly and place them both down quickly.*
'Thank goodness for my training'
*I put them both down, I open the compartment where the outrigger controls are and yell to Tim*
'You ready yet Tim? After the ladder is up, I want you to climb up quickly and tell me where PFD vented. Hopefully they made them big enough. If there is a hole in the corner of the building, I need to know. I want you to spray through there for me but not before we get a good supply line connected.'
"All teams, Ladder 1 will be spraying the deck gun into the warehouse. I want you to tell me when it gets too close for you so we could shut it off."
*I think to myself that I should get a k12 to the mid side of that building. Maybe it will just be smoke.*
'John, Tufts, I'm going to be venting a hole for you guys. I want you to enter the structure shortly after and spray down whatever you could find. I'll be right behind you.'

* I get on my portable to respond to the LT. *

' Ladder 1 Floan Copies LT '
* I cap off my line and get back to the truck to get my Hish Rise Pace. I grab the pack and make my way back to the line where I couple them together which gives me some additional line *

' Ladder 1 Floan to Ladder 1 Command, High Rise Kit is attached, im in positiona and awaiting your ventilation. '

I hop off the back off the pumper with a line and put on my SCBA and wait for orders.

"SV2, head to IR road now as per orders."
"L-1, no working standpipes on the rear"
(Did someone clear P-11? Oh well, no one bitch about it, they're here now, just remember to read the full post guys.. I gave everyone orders, and really no one followed them)

"RA-1 to COPA, we are staging on Union Street with Rehab and RIT est."
*I go up front and grab the clip board. I head back into the back of the truck.*
'Doug, go ahead and get out the ALS kit and the EKG for our rescued firefighters.'
*Doug reaches around and grabs the ALS kit while I grab the EKG. I put the EKG down in the CPR seat and Doug puts the ALS kit on the contertop.*

(Am I suppose to take orders from Garcia since there is no truck officer? P.S. what does LFO mean?)
"10-4"
*I take off my SCBA then get into the truck and head over to IR road then jump out*
'I thnk this is the place'
*I grab a hydrant wrench, take off the cap then hook up a hose and turn it on*
"Botfish to COPA, Hydrant is redy for usage"

*jumps out of the rig, grabs hres equipment and helmet*

"I'll be right back bruce."

*walks over and makes contact with PFD command*

*walks back over to our rigs*

"Everyone listen up! We have two PFD crews in the building. The crew that is trapped in the northeast room has only 15 minutes of air remaining and also to be know one of the four in the crew is injured. The first crew was conducting interior search when the room had collapased on the opening. The second crew is a SAR team from one of their ladders. They are trying to get to the rear of the building and get their down FF's out. They have asked us to enter the building with them and assist in getting them out. SAR will assist in working their way to the back and getting to the room, HRES will be making entry to the room with assitance by SAR, while P11, L1, and SV2 will be on the outside doing exterior attack. RA-1 will be on stand waiting for the down FF's to come out and rehab for all other FF's. If the search team needs any extra equipment I want one of the outside units to listen up and get the equipment to the door as fast as possible. Let's do this!"

*groups up with SAR and Bruce. Looks at watch and starts moving towards the entry.*

"We only have 12 minutes left to get to those guys before they run out of O^2."

"RA-1 Copies. Can you advise on the status of the injured FF?"
*I reach down and grab the spare O2 cylinder and put it on the cot.*
'Doug, when the injured FF comes out I'll bring our cot over to get him, so we can get him assessed and transported asap.'
*Doug nods.*

"RA-1 the injured FF is suppose to have broken legs and burns on his legs from building material falling on his lower half. He is suppose to be in a quite large amount of pain."

*I walk over to the ladder.*
'Wtih all respect Lt. your gonna need a line in there you can't go running into a burning building without a line I signed up to be on this engine to fight a fire not stand outside and watch there aren't a ton of hole in a wharehouse were useless outside.'
*After making my point I walk back to the pumper and take my scba off no just extra wait if i'm standing outside, and with the roof vented there isn't much smoke at ground level anymore*
'Anyone got the pumper hooked up to water yet? I have charge this line and spray a wall.'

*Looks at him, and thinks to myself oh S$%#, I completely forgot to add that in but was thinking it.*

"I'll take two guys from the pumper with a line to go inside with us."

"Rodger on you Botfish and SV2 should have us hooked to a hydrant in just a second"
(You might wanna settle with one of us I think we only have 2 active people in total haha not counting garcia)

(Godmod someone else on your rig to go with you)

(You take orders from Burke. Light Force Officer is what LFO means. Burke, I followed your orders no? If not, PM me please for quality improvement)
*I and Tim start putting out the outriggers. I make sure that they're secure and I give Tim his instructions once again. I run over to Tim.*
'I want you to get up there and let me know whether or not we have vented holes in the rear part of the warehouse at all. If so, just tell me but don't use the deck gun yet since we don't have an adequate flow of water to use it. In the meantime, I want you to watch our tank capacity ok? When it gets to yellow, let me know.'
*I grab a special k12 to cut through concrete, whir it up a few times, and run over to the side of the warehouse.*
"Ladder 1 beginning venting ops on the right side of the warehouse. We're going to work our way to the rear as we start going in. COPA, do you copy?"
"Ladder 1 to Pumper 11, can you get us water please? we're going to run out soon if we don't get any."
'Alright guys, lets go. Put your shields down.'
*I run over to the side of the warehouse, put down my facemask start up the k12, and begin to press it against the building. It whirs and makes a very loud cutting sound as a few sparks fly out but I manage to get it in and start making my way down the wall slowly. I run it back up then start going horizontally across the wall. The k12 vibrates in my hand but I manage to keep it still. I finish cutting horzintally and start cutting vertically again. Straight down. I finish and see that the lines aren't charged yet so while Tim is doing his things, I run back and charge the lines brining the k12 with me. I set the k12 down and charge the lines. I run back over and get behind John.*
'Alright, lets go.'

"RA-1 copies."
*I reach over and get out our burn pack, set up 2 lines of NS and get the drug kit on the cot.*

(Right.)
'Liam get on me and grab a tool just in case.'
(I've never seen him post since he got here but he's on the roster so i'm taking here haha.)
*I jog back to the truck and grab my maske pop it on the flip on the air.*
'Ready to Rock lets get our brothers'
"Cressler to Ladder-1 SV2 is in charge of running the LDH Botfish just hooked to hydrant you should have water shortly"

( sorry guys, two working 2+ alarm fires in less than 14 hours)

* I jump off the truck with my scba dangling since i never tightend the straps, i head over towards hannahan and help get the out riggers out, i then tighten my scba straps and hook up my mask and climb up the ladder*
" LT, they have vented back in the corner, if we extend the ladder more we should be able to get the master stream off of the ladder down through there"

*I take the line then run over to the Pumper than hook up the hose*
'You guys are all set to go!'

"Rodger."

'Chris we got water ready to breach when your ready.'

*I grab my radio before entering and talk to Pumper 11 guys.*
"Ladder 1 to Pumper 11, can you hook up a supply to our tank from your truck?"
*I put my radio back at my side and grab the line behind John.*

"alright lets move. puts on SCBA mask and moves up to the entrance of the building with the water infront with sar and hres*

**I pull up in my p.o.v** "P.O.V on scene."
**I put on my structure gear, and go over to the pumper and grab a B.A, a radio, and my mask.**

"Copy, 4" supply."

**I order Collins to grab a 4" and connect it up to L-1, while i take the other end and connect it to our pump.**

"Lets get the deck gun up and going."

"What do you guys need for entry?"

((some of you have no patience at all... if there's no LFO, no D. LFO, the squad and engine were technically out of service until Ewan and I finished up. If there's no command, it doesn't mean free for all.))

*i hop out of the pumper and grab a SCBA and axe and start following moon

(you might wanna go see garcia and get an order i didn't know your the new guy i thought you were in active thats why I was god modding you)

(you talking to me garcia?)

*I follow McEvoy and Bruce to the buildings entrance*

*I get a supply line and hook it up to the pumper and ladder.*

"Anything else I can help with Lt?"

*I see chris and jess line up behind me at the building entrance*
'I got point tell me when your ready and give me a direction to move your lead I just have the wet stuff'

"All of SAR and HRES are going to go in towards the NE corner, thats where you need to get us. Just make a clear path we can get through without the fire hurting us. Bruce is primary on HRES. So anything you see give him the heads up."

*looks back and everyone is ready to go.*

'Rgr'
*I do a quick look over make sure everything is buttoned up and the line is still charged. I can see the yellow line the crew before us used to get in thanks to the venting the smoke isn't to bad I can stand up and see clearly. I start following the yellow line back my main concern at this point isn't the fire it's getting to these men.The farther back we go the thinker the smoke is getting. I get down to my knees looking to my left and right watching the walls watching the fire, watching it breathe and live because fire is a living thing it doesn't do something because a law says it should it does it because it wants to. I check the ceiling it looks pretty solid I can't tell exactally whats up there but it looks like it's all metal. So far the ceiling wan't caught fire as far as I can tell. The floor plan is pretty open most of the fire is going along the walls because there isn't much in the middle to burn just some machinery that is run by electricy nothing flamable. I wonder to myself what these men were even doing back here. The back of the building seems to be where the fire starts it's fully involved after we get them out were going to have to hit that if the structure is still sound. I think to myself I wonder what type of cleaning supplies they make that burn clean?. As i'm crawling some of the smokes starts to go out someone must of opened another vent hole somewhere. I can stand back up now and see rather clear again. Just then I seem them and I shout through the mask*
'Sir the line runs under this debris we need it cleared out of the way I think the men are right on the other side.'

* I feel the LT's Hand on my shoulder giving me the signal to enter the building, I check my SCBA making sure im getting sufficient air and look at the buildings entrance to check for Structural integrity, seeing only moderate danger I decide to enter the building spraying a wide stream. *

' LT im ready to begin our primary survey of the structure. '

* I continue to spray hotspots as I see them and await further instructions constantly lookin up for ceiling integrity. *

'Alright, lets work our way back. On your knees buddy. You'll be able to see better.'
*I get on my knees as we start our way back. I feel on the ground keeping my hand on John's heel.*
'Tuft, stay on me!. I don't want you getting lost!'

((Cressler you need to not rush back so fast explain what you are seeing and go on through where you are longer. through several post just not 'poof' I'm here*

(alright just saying because thats not just you that's a lot of ppl on here)

"Entry team, what's the status on evac? Is the back door clear enough?"

"Negative I can't even see a back door it appears that is where the fire started and that is the main storage also it's fully involved."

"Understood P-11. Entry team, be advised the rear is too hot to exit from, proceed for a front entry when ready"
I put the info into EAT and press post to alert not only our units, but also the PFD Commander

Switching radios, I ask if the PFD can spare a team on back, unfortunately though they can't, so I am out of options, and just pray that my final tactic will work
"Fire suppression team on the rear, please report to the front side to try and clear a path for rescue team. Any available persons are asked to assist. RA-1 team please remain at your post for receiving
