1181 transports Chief 1, firefighter #1214, her friend, & the apparatus OIC to Playmobil City Hospital Emergency Department.
Shortly after they have left, Assistant Chief 1 who has been left in command of the fire scene, & searching for the two missing construction workers is presented with a situation that makes his blood boil with anger. The construction supervisor approaches him with two other individuals. With obvious guilty expressions on their faces, the supervisor brings to light a good & bad discovery.
The two missing workers were actually late returning from lunch due to throwing back a few too many at the local Playmobil Cafe. They were not missing inside the building after all.
After an angered exchange of words toward the construction workers, Assistant Chief 1 is heard talking to headquarters.
.................
Assistant Chief 1 to headquarters.
Go ahead Assistant Chief 1.
By my authority all units searching for the missing construction workers are to discontinue search operations immediately, & to check in with their apparatus OIC, & headquarters also have Playmobil City Police officers that are on this scene come to my location ASAP. I have a request for them.10-4 Assistant Chief 1.
A few moments after Assistant Chief 1 talked to the PCPD officers, Playmobil City Police officers arrest the two construction workers on scene for public intoxication, drunk & disorderly conduct, wreckless endangerment, & resisting arrest. Later they fail an alcohol breathalyzer test with a level 3 times the legal limit after being transported to Playmobil City Police Department, & are charged.
Later that day after the fire is extinguished, & the units have returned to their stations, Playmobil City Fire Department personnel are getting the apparatus cleaned, restocked, & back into service.
The following sequence of pictures show PCFD personnel preparing for the next call.
There is a sad silence among the PCFD firefighter brothers, & sisters as station, & apparatus duties are performed. The silence is interrupted by headquarters transmitting over all radios.
This is the radio traffic that is heard by all personnel…………………..
