(Requests and restricitons, no need for ALS-1 to respond, please include the response, you've got heavy traffic and the Trulit VFD there helping with a multi car pileup, you've gotta rush past to their jurisdiction to take care of a rescue. There will be numerous emergency vehicles, from TVFD trucks, and ERT police cars, as well as numerous angered motorists having to turn around. Traffic will thin out once reaching the angle in the road though)

After hearing the alarm I run to my gear and get it on, then I open the door and hop in the drivers seat. While waiting for the rest to get in I hit the lights.

I hear the tones go, I finally think we have a good call. I run down to the apparatus bay with the other firefighters. I run past the Pumper, Ladder and Squad to get to SEV-1. I run to the drivers side, take of my slipon shoes, put my feet into the bunker pants and boots pull the suspenders up and grab the jacket and helmet throw it into the SEV and yell out to the guys: See you guys there, Drive safe!" I step in press the door opener, start it, turn the lights on and wait for Karrignton to get in. Once he is in I grab the radio: SEV-1 Responding to the fair grounds for a confined space entrapment." I honk the horn and drive slowly out of the bay. I flick the sirens on and start driving to the state fair. ((Continued in the operations topic))

I slide down the pole and into my bunker gear and put on my helmet, then climb into the officer's seat. "This is squad one, we're on our way to rock and roll." I say. I check that everyone is in the squad and turn to Florian, "Let's go."

(response in operations topic)

"Basic 1 is enroute from Quick Mart."

(Burke am I transferring before or after this call? Just need to know if I'm going back to NHL 11 or not haha)


EDIT:I read the promotion thread

*I hear the tones drop right when I'm about to change my shield on my helmet. oh crap looks like i'm wearing this shield one last time. I grab my bunker gear from the pumper and hurry to SEV-1. I make a stop at my gear locker and grab my RR helmet I'm not sure how deep this is we might need ropes. I hop into the back seat of the SEV right as it's about to pull out.*
'Hey guys not sure if you heard but i'm the SAR on the truck now guess we got a call.'
