"Botfish, you could go ahead and disconnect."
*I finish my compartment check, grab a bottle of water, open the cap and drink it down. I let out a great big 'AAAAHHH. Oh yeah thats good.' I put it in my seat and grab another spanner wrench and start on the couplings getting the last coupling for myself since everyone else was doing it while I was going over the truck. After draining the crosslay, I take the high rise packs, velcro it back up, and put one on both shoulders the best that I could and put it in the rear compartment..... I come up with a training idea for later and write it down. I then close the compartment with a thud, look over my shoulder, turn around, and make my way to the ladder. I bring it down on sit it on top of the truck. I lock it in place then check the lights. I see one rear light blinking slowly than it should be and make a note of it on my clipboard.*
'That shouldn't be too bad. Probably needs charging.' I think to myself. I then go back to the front of the truck and look around at the crews doing things.*
'Typical fire scene.' A smile comes to my face.*
*I take my SCBA, mask, and jacket off after PFD knocks the warehouse down. I then see them rolling in to take care of the hotspots. I then look around to see my crew doing things.*
'Alright everyone, how we doin here? Almost donne guys?'
