Safety Before Science || Varian and The Fire Department
Good news for everyone in Swynlake: the trucks and most of the equipment were fine since the forest had laid claim on the town again, so if people needed help they weren’t stuck having to wait for the team from The Next Town Over coming to save the day. The only bad news there was that the place had been rocked so digging the vehicles out from under pieces of the roof that had caved in and large branches that had broken off in the forest’s retreat and repairing the damages to the hoses or replenishing the water supply of the truck had taken some time.
Even now they were recovering. Rebuilding, having to make due with the supplies that hadn’t been ruined due to wild life or the fauna. Then they were having to help with the clean up of the rest of the town and go on calls when residents decided to do something drastic and get themselves pinned under a beam.
The brigade on duty were getting ready to put some drywall up in the offices when the call came in. Like usual it didn’t take long for them to get ready and head out. The lights flashed, the siren sounded when a car tried to cut them off, and within a few minutes they were pulling up outside the house. They all climbed out, Bobbo, Vanessa, and Reese, while Irving pulled the truck into a better spot.
Bobbo pounded on the door with the side of his gloved fist and yelled, “Swynlake Fire Department!”
