It was a cool autumn night and a young woman was jogging down the street in a tight tank top and shorts. She began to slow as she reached the 55th firehouse; she slid her backpack off onto one shoulder. Inside the fire station Billy Walsh was pacing in the fire house kitchen. Alex Taylor suddenly appeared at the top of the stairs. "Alex, where have you been. I asked you to come at 11pm" "Walsh" "Yeah" "It's 10:45" "Oh" Walsh said, a bit taken it back. "Sorry, just anxious" "Where ya headed anyway?" "My brother-in-law rung about an hour ago, my sister went into labor. Lou said I had to find someone to cover for me" "Okay." "Did you run down here?" "Yeah" "In 20 minutes, you got here" "Yeah, at high school I was on the track team." "You must be fast" "I was, shouldn't you be leaving?" "Oh yeah." He grabbed his backpack and rushed out the door.

Alex had put her bag in her closet and had quickly put on her uniform pants when the fire alarm went off. She had just enough time to change tops and get down the stairs with the rest of the firefighters.

There was 4 police officers who had just pulled up outside an apartment building on fire, the female police officer radioed for help while the 3 male police officers rushed to help the people clambering out of the building. "Charlie 55-3 to central we have an apartment building on fire at 63rd west. We need EMS and fire NOW!" "Bosco, isn't this you're building?" "Yeah" "Sully, that guy over there" Faith Yokas yelled. Officer Sullivan rushed over to an elderly man who had a burned face and was stumbling toward the police officer. Bosco started to run towards the fire.

Inside the building the smoke was thick and Bosco could hardly see where he was going, Bosco could hear a young child on the stairs in front of him. He moved slowly forward and carefully scooped him up then started back outside.

When they arrived on the scene they were given a quick order of search and rescue. Alex, Jimmy, Lombardo, Prescott and D.K. were sent in. As Alex headed towards the building she appreciated that this was a rather small apartment building of only 4 floors. She pulled on her heavy oxygen tank and put on the mask to cover her face. Just as Jimmy reached the main entrance they saw Bosco coming out of the building, he was carrying a young boy and he was coughing badly.

As soon as Bosco came back from inside the building I could see that he was carrying a little boy, I thought that he would make a great father one-day until I heard his next comment. "Get this little ankle bitter off me!" That was my Bosco every day the same.

As soon as I entered the building I knew that a chemical accelerant had been used, this was the worst kind of fire. I thought that the building would come down fast so I indicated to D.K., Lombardo and Prescott that Alex and I would go to the top floor and search downwards. I grabbed Alex's arm and we headed up the burned stairs.

Outside Lt. Johnston was listening to the radios trying to find out where his firefighters were and if they needed help.

Inside the building Jimmy reached for his radio. "Lou, the ceiling is going to come down soon." "Everyone start to make your way out NOW!" Lou ordered. Alex started to head back to the room Jimmy was in. The fire raged around her, it burned at her face through her mask. She had heard Jimmy radio Lou so she started to make her way back to the room Jimmy was in. "Lou, it doesn't look like the floors will last long either!" She told the lieutenant.

Jimmy started to head out of the room when he felt the ground rush out from under his left leg.

Alex had walked into the room and saw Jimmy stumble; she rushed forward and grabbed his arm

My mind went into over time, what can I do to get free? I began to panic and I felt someone take my arm. I looked up and there was Alex. She simply said, "I got your back". With someone supporting me I was able to unhook my leg and step backwards. "Jimmy, Alex, where the hell are you?" Lou asked over the radio. "Where okay, just a little accident" Alex replied. They headed toward the stairs and made their way down. They had made it to the third floor when Jimmy saw a young boy over by the window. "Alex, over there" Jimmy pointed. Jimmy walked over and picked up the young child while Alex searched the rest of the room. "Lou, did anyone search the 3rd floor?" Alex asked. "Prescott searched most of it, until I ordered him out" Alex could barley hear his response. The stupid taxi radios were interfering with the firefighter radios. Alex knew the building would not stand long so she had quickly searched the apartment. Jimmy started to head out with Alex close behind.

They had made it to the ground floor when Jimmy heard the floor crack, and give way. He rushed forward, and spun around to see where Alex was. There was no sign of her. He had let her down.
