Car Fire

((So it's an automatic pump?))

"Alright, bring on the water!"

*Gilligano gives me the water and I begin to hose down the fire with Daniels.*

I don't think they have Auto pumps. I could be wrong. If they don't I harge Davis' water

((Galligano. Every time you post out of character in an IC forum without the double brackets surrounding it, you earn another 3 days as a cadet.. Just FYI. And I just said they do, as well as numerous other times.))

Okay Well, I wait for another of Garcia's orders.

(oh)
*If there is any other thing you want me to do Liueatnant, tell me. I tell him as I keep putting out the fire.*

Focus on maintaining a safe scene and making sure the fire stays down. I've just rang out L-1 for extra man power and overhaul

Grabs Axe off the pumper and starts to cut bushes with guys.

"Make sure if clearing a bit of brush or whatever if it didn't get soaked by teams, to use power saws, not axes.. (They are for doors and entry, not being a lumberjack.... No one does that nowadays here, we've got money to be better! )"

((Wow Burke, I guess you really should read about some tools. Hand crew tools going up onto my general knowledge, because I thought you knew them. Oh, not only that, but we use regular axes to cut away brush sometimes. Any axe can cut a bush, it's not like he's cutting down a forest. Don't worry, I'll happily report to your office after this call. ))

"If your using an axe with a scraper, go ahead and continue use. Do not use a circular saw on bushes. That's pointless and a waste of efficiency. If you want, feel free to use a chainsaw."

**I finish the last little bit of fire on the car**

"The car fires out"

"Ok now."
*I run over and get the line next to the treehouse and start to put it out again.*
"It's starting to turn black and the fire's dying down lieutanant."
*I hear it creak and moan and when branches start to fall I get back.*
"Be very careful guys, the branches are starting to fall. Soon this whole tree might come down."
*I keep spraying the treehouse and it actually stays the same for a bit then the fire starts to hiss and it slowly but surely goes down.*

I jumo back when the tree falls and start to move some braches to the side of the road

(auto pumps? Lol)

I know that garcia, I'm not retarded, but why waste time with an axe when we have battery operated power tools that work better?

So that you don't have people pump minding. It's a boring position in a real life, and people would quit if they had to say adjusting pump pressure, minding pumps, etc. Thereofre we have automated pumps so they don't need to be watched by someone.

(never heard of it, not sure how it would work.)

((It is a fictional system. There are a couple ficitonal things issued in this so that people don't get stuck with completely boring joibs. Like communications officer on a scene. Uplinking burke. Uplinking to COPA. blahblah blah. Automation of some systems just so members don't leave boring ass postions))

Most of the brush is cleared and the tree fire is almost out Lt.

((I don't trust battery operated tools. Their weak. Maybe some gas tools would be faster? less environmentally friendly, but faster, haha))

"Keep putting water on the tree after you think it's out. Everyone else, mop up."

I grab the rake and start to rake up the brush and pick up branches and sticks with my hands and put them near the other brush (the trees in the backyard) neatly.

Hey, guys? Wanna help me lift this branch and put it off to the side for the clean up crew to get? I take off coat and put it on the bumper of the ladder.

I gotcha

Ready? 1,2,3 LIFT! Me and Hannahan both grunt

Alright OK. Put it over there in that pile near the other trees. ugh

((Good report, Garcia! Very accurate. BTW, Ewan, if you're L1 T.O, than doesn't that mean you get the T.O seat and I drive?))

*I take off my coat, throw it in the truck, and head back to help clean up the brush.*

"Hey guys, need some help with rolling up the hoses?"

I lift the last piece of brush and go over to help Davis with the hose.
"Lets get this hose over with.

"Good deal."

*I help Hanahan roll up the hose.*

I climb upon the back and get in the bed (lol) and pull up the hose. ((We should get a HoseMule!))

((You're right!))

"OK guys, this looks done! Let's see if the guys need help with anything."

*I go and walk over to the rest of the crew.*

Hoses are neatly layed. I jump down and clip the net on the back. I get my coat off the ladder's bumper and walk over to the other guys ((love that movie!))

I get off the side of the pumper and put my jacket on my seat.
"OK Lieutanant. Should we wait here for the tow truck and help Starling or....what?"

Should'nt we wait and clean up all the glass and rubble from the car?

"Well, as far as I know, the cops have estinguishers. If anything catches on fire again, they should be able to handle it. Either way, I think we still need to wait for DCBurke's approval before we leave."

((I go and sit in the truck and grab a bottle of water.))

I go to Engine and get in the Driver's seat and shut off the ligts. BTW: Can any ERT member use a unit's EAT?

The Fire OSC has that authority if the scene is completely overhauled

(yes)

Okay. I DRIVE! I wait for peeps to get in!

"Alright guys! Let's go!"

*I hop into the driver's seat, flip off the lights, put the truck in drive, and head back to HQ.*

Honks air horn! Get your lazy ass' in here! TO MODERATORS. That was only a JOKE!

"See you back at base, Galligano!"

*I honk the horn and take off.*

"L1 to COPA, we are heading back to HQ. We'll be temporaily unavailable."

"Lieutanant, should we leave now?

Okay, since nobody's getting in, I will assume they are. I pull the yellow thing out and drive back to base honking at the Cops as we leave.

I quickly hop in.

((Nice save!))

*I arrive at HQ and back the truck into the bay.*

I hit the lights as I pull up to the base, Hannahan get's out and backs me in! Stirfry for dinna!

((No hosemule.)

"You just left all the debris and glass in the road? Galligano. When we get back, you will report to me immediately. Hannahan, thank you for saying something, at least you knew."

"E-11 clear and available."

((Sorry! Forgot about the clean up part!))

(for report, 2 patrols on scene) do we have eta for tow?

* I hear the call of a robery in progress*

"Sorry fire i gotta roll. Patrol 2 to central ill be responding code 3 RE:robbery in progress"

*i hop in my patrol car hit the lights and sirens and peal out from this call*

Pc 6 clear en route
