Firefighting is a mass amount of correcting what went wrong. It does not look organized, but it is: Trucks responding from all directions and firefighters running in different directions; all of this and still the fire goes out. I guess they all go out eventually.
Today was no different. We saw the smoke but could not tell where it was coming from. T29 was first on scene with smoke in the area. We arrived and were assigned the roof and off we went to go to work. You can’t hold these guys back. They were excited and wanted to fight fire. We spotted the truck and off went the engine, where I did not know. They circled the block and by the time they found a spot to gain access, the fire was out. Oh yea, we put the fire out with T29’s hose line. Once again T61 did it all. Also the captain from T29 burned his hand. Oops, but it is a dangerous job.
Back to quarters and wait for the next one.
