*Jansen pulls up in front of the address and I get out.*
"Burke, will we work on fire supression for this call?"
((Sorry for the godmodding, just wanted to clear us because I won't be home till evening tomorrow.))

*as we arrive on the scene i see smoke showing.*
"Ladder 1 on the scene smoke showing"
*i look over at Hannahan*
'were do you want me to put us?'

*I pull past the Trulit police road block, I turn down the primary radio, and switch the secondary radio to TVFD and pick up the mic.*

"Trulit Fire, ERT Rescue 1 is out, we'll be establishing rehab, we're down about 4 houses from the fire."

"10-4 Rescue 1, thanks."

*I pick up the ERT radio*

"Rescue 1 is out in Trulit."

*I park on the side of the road, press the master button to turn off the lights, then activate the scene lights to help light up the scene.*

*I press the anti-theft button, take the keys out and lcip them to a belt loop, then step out. I get the jumpbag and EKG out of the cabinet, then bring them in the back. I tear open the new water and Gatorade packs, and turn on some lights in the back. I pick up my portable, set it to Trulit Fire, then step out and watch the fire*

"Ladder 1 on scene. Pumper 11, connect up to the closest TVFD engine and pull your line out. Attach a wye and attach 2 1' 3/4 inch of line onto it and help with the brush fires."
'Alright guys, Bruce pull crosslays, Mike, your with Bruce ok? Jess, Chris, I want you guys to pull the other crosslay. I'll worry about the water supply. TVFD should have some of it handled at least.'
*I get out with my SCBA on, put my mask on, and grab the supply line. I hook it up to the pump and run out to the closest tanker which is a good block away. I connect it to the tanker and jog back.*
"Ladder 1 beginning suppression."

*i get out and bottle up.*
'common Mike, time to get you broke in. Jess, good luck!'
*i pull a cross lay and strech it to the fire to start an attack*

"Be aware guys, the place has explosives in it. I want you to keep at least 50 feet away copy?"
*I look around and help Brue advance the line with Mike. i tap Mike on his SCBA tank and nod to him as if I was saying good luck. I back up making sure I don't turn my back to the fire and I watch what everyone is doing. I then lok over at John remembering I didn't give him orders.*
'John, turn on some fog lights for me and light the place up a but more. After you're done with that, I want you to elp Mike and Bruce.'

' Got it LT. '
* I climb into the drivers seat and turn on the generator for the trck, then climb on the side and raise the fog Lights. once that is done and I see there is considerable light around the scene I head to my door and grab my SCBA and head over to bruce and Mike. I see Bruce and Mike on the Nozzle and Quickly make my way over to them and tap bruce on his shoulder. *
' Hey Bruce I figured u needed some help with that lol j/k Im with you where do u need me at? '

'check with Hannahan, but i think you should set up a water supply to us'
*i move the nozzle around and make a better knock on the fire*

'Already did.'
*I point back to the fire so he can focus a bit more.*

*we pull up to the scene and I jump out*
"P-11 to COPA and Ladder 1 command, P-11 is on scene"
*I take a hose and run over to a TVFD engine then hook it up. I run back to our truck and grab another line thenn run over to the brush brush fire then run back and brab a wye, and a 1 3/4" attack line then run over to the hose and attach the wye and the hose then run back again and grab one more 1 3/4" attack line running back to the fire again attaching the last hose, I pick one of the hoses up and wait for help*
"This is botfish, I need someones assistance over here to help me with my line"

*I hop out of the passenger's seat and head up in to the back of the truck.*
'Doug, lets get the rit pack and back board out of the truck just in case. We've had too many FF's dropping like hot rocks.'

"Request came for additional help with suppression and a rehab team. All units responding excluding RA-1 are to suppress the first. RA-1 please proceed with rehab"

*After I get out the RIT pack and lay a backboard on the cot, the first wave of Tulit FF's come by. I take their vitals and hand them waters. I fill out their rehab tags and send them back to their rigs.*

* i get out of the truck as the q winds down and leave my mask off but makeing sure my scba is on and i pull the hotel pack off the truck and attach it to the other wye that austin laid out*

"Ladder 1 copies. Squad 1, hook up with pumper 11 and drive slowly over to ladder 1. You can help us suppress the woodshed fire. Wilt, help Botfish. The rest of Squad 1, suppress the fire."
*I go over to the TVFD chief and talk to him.*
'Ok, we have our RA there for rehab so you should get some of your men off so they could rest.'
Yeah, Thanks for helping.
'No problem.'
*I turn around and walk back over to the ladder and watch.*

*As Wilt grabs hold I turn on the water and get blown bck a little as we staret spraying some of the brush*

*I jump off the truck and pull another line off and have it charged. I walk up to within range of the shed and start opening up on it with the crosslay.*

* I see that Bruce and Chris have this line handled so I tap bruce on the shoulder again. *
' Bruce im gonna head over to Jack and help him on his line. '
* I walk over and take up #2 Position on the line with Jack. *

"Jack, get off of the line and come to the side. I need to talk to you." (PM me)
*I put my mic down wondering what Jack is doing here but dismiss it and wait for him to talk to me.*

*I jump down from the truck with my SCBA pack and mask. I check the scene and run over to Help Botfish laying lines. I grab wye to but on the second line and jog over there. I hear an explosion and can see a fireball erupt from the shead. I grab a 1 3/4 line and make my way to the shed and surrounding brush and open up with the Nozzel on a wide attack patern.

"Copy Hannahan."
'Florian, get some lines off the truck. Hook them up to the pumper. I'll drive to the ladder, then we'll supply them. After that, get some water on those trees, and the rest of us will focus on the fire. Just make sure the trees are cooled!'
*I get into the driver's seat and wait for Florian to get out some lines and give me the go.*

"IC to Rescue 1."

"Go for Rescue 1."

"Be advised, we got some guys from Engine 3 coming your way."

"10-4 thanks."

*4 guys get into the ambulance. I check 2, Cory checks 2, I fill out a chart for my 2, give them the option of water or Gatorade, and release them.*

* I take over Jack's position on the Nozzle and widen my stream *
' Ladder 1 Floan to Ladder 1 Command Im assuming Luckenbach's Position. '

*I pull the second crosslay and start to start to help bruce knock down the fire*

*I see tthe explosion then focus on the trees near the explosion*
'Somebodys got to cover that grass thats smoldering!

*I back Bruce up on the line helping guide the hoseline to follow his movements*

*i move the nozzle over the fire that is in the grass*

"Jess, your with Chris Tufts. Mike is with Bruce. I want you to put out that shed fire but stay at least 50 feet back K?"
*I fold my arms and start to walk up closer to the burning shed but not past the nozzleman on the hoses.*

(lol John. I am with chris and mike is with bruce. I pulled a 2nd crosslay and helped bruce start knocking hte fire down)
*I continue to spray the shed moving the nozzle in circles to try to knock it down a little quicker*

*i see a chance and move in, and knock the fire down a bit more*

*I follow Bruce backing him up on the line*

(Jack Lueckenbach, you're still injured, you can't respond to this call. Please disregard his post. Jack if you've got questions, PM me)

"OSC, what's it like out there?"

*I take my nozzel and focus on the shed and see the fire dieing rapidly now. There is another explosion and the left wall collapses to the ground
'Hannahan we have a the collapse of the left wall, I am soaking the area around it and the debris'

*i circle around putting my line between the fire and the brush and move in soaking every thing down*
'looks like well have it out soon'

(Ok Jess )
"Ladder 1 command to COPA. Fire looks like it probably will hold but we're are having a difficult time taking out the brush fires. Collapse of the left wall of the shed just occured and we're taking care of it at the moment. You copy COPA?"
*I put my mic on my clip while looking to make sure I have it down correctly. I look around and travel a bit between the pumper and ladder so I could see what's happening.*
"Pumper 11, how are those brush fires looking?"

I say into my radio 'Pumper-11 to Hannahan, supression of the brush fire is nearly complete, there were a few smolder spots that have been taken care of, we are shifting focus to the shed while still keeping an eye on the brush. Let us know of any other updates.
I put my radio back and open the nozzel back on the shed knocking down the flaming pile of wood that threatens the brush.

"Ladder 1 command copies. We'll update you on anything that happens. Be advised, stay at least 50 feet back from the shed."
*I put my radio back on my shoulder and check my gauge on my SCBA saying it 15 minutes left on it. I then try not to worry about it for a while then I grab a shovel off of the top compartment of the truck, grab it, then put it down next to the truck.*

"I just got a call from the Fort Basio Team for fir esuppression, they are in the middle of retraining for brush fires, want them to send down a team with a military pumper (armoured pickup with minipump and foam) to assist or do you guys got it down?"
'Kelly, you've still got the Colonel on the line right?'

'Hannahan, might be a good idea to get a foam truck in here'

I shut down my line and click my radio 'Anders to Hannahan, I think we can get by without FBFD, but if they want to send the truck down here to moniter that would help, its up to you' I click my radio off, check my SCBA, 17 minutes, I open the nozzel back up and hit some smoldering grass before moving the stream back to the shed.

"Standby COPA."
*I think to myself, 'P-11 almost got it down... shed fire is almost out..we have TVFD to help..we don't need that, we got this.' I shake my head and radio back to COPA.*
"Ladder 1 command to COPA, we have it for now. Have them on standby if possible."

I hear the Hannahan's transmission and keep spraying the fire. 'Anders to Pumper-11 temp crew, Keep the supression on the shen, but keep an eye out for any brush fires. The fire is dieing down and will be out soon.' I spray down the shed, I can now see inside, there are two 5o gal barrels that have there tops blown off. I wonder what was inside of those?

((Night everybody))

'Got it Davis!'

I connect the lines to the Pumper and give Davis the go.
Then I start supressing the fire and see it dying down some more

*I look at my SCBA air levewl it's at 4 minutes. I pick up my radio*
"Botfish to Ladder 1 command I need air and rehab. Can you send someone to take my place?"

"COPA Scene Command, I'll tell them to standby and if things get worse, we'll call them in"

' Austin, i think we can handle with just my line off of the wye for now until you get back, wont be that much of a difference, we have should enough lines pulled'( i mean dont we? ive heard of at least 4 or 5)
* I take my line and open it a little more from stream to fog and just start drowing the now open shed and look over and see that the brush isnt much of an exposure anymore*

'Ok'
*I shut off my hose then shut it off and walk over to RA-1*
'Hello guys!

(is riles dispatch now?)

(Hmm Idk it looks like it but i'm not sure where riles is from maybe he knews kelly to and she didn't log off his)
