FIRST DUE WITHOUT A CLUE: DON'T LET IT HAPPEN TO YOU

摘要

It's 4:45 a.m. when your pager alerts you to a house fire three blocks from your residence. You fly out of the house, jump in your chief's car, and wheel around the block into every homeowner's nightmare. Heavy smoke issues from the first floor of a two-story, wood-frame Cape Cod, a common structure in the area. An orange glow is visible in the trees on the B/C comer. Neighbors and a police officer are at the scene assisting the residents exiting through the windows from a first-floor bedroom. One of your department members, who lives across the street, runs up and informs you that kids are trapped upstairs. You transmit a working structural fire with people trapped to dispatch and call for additional resources.
