Nobody's POV

Everyone was in the common room just hanging out. They had just gotten back from a call and were waiting for someone to cook lunch. There were two people who could actually cook at the Firehouse. Currently, the lieutenant was making lunch. Normally, the candidate would make lunch but they did not have a candidate and they did not have enough room in the truck for one.

All of a sudden the chief came in and said, "Could I have everyone's attention for a moment?"

Everyone looked up from what they were doing.

"I have made a decision to retire. I have decided to do this awhile go but I had to make sure the people who have wanted to take over and other things was confirmed by headquarters."

There was total silence.

"The person I have decided to take over my job is our very own Lieutenant Casey. Gabriella Dawson has taken the Lieutenant's test and passed with an amazing score so she will be taking over Truck 81."

There was silence then cheering. Everyone went to go and congratulate Casey and Dawson.

After everyone settled back down, the Chief said, "You guys will start your new roles next shift.

Everyone has excited for Casey and Dawson but they were sad that their Chief was retiring. He had been a great Chief.

Soon, lunch had been made and everyone was getting lunch or eating lunch.

The rest of shift went be smoothly. They responded to several calls but none of them were too serious and no one got hurt. Several people did see Chief cleaning out his office which made them sad as he would no longer be their Chief.

Towards the end of shift Hermann stood up and yelled, "Drinks on the house tonight in celebration of Dawson and Casey getting promotions, but also saying a farewell to Chief Boden."

Everyone cheered at that.

Hermann then walked over to Boden and asked, "You will be there tonight, right?"

Boden nodded and said, "Of course."

That night everybody mingled and talked with each other. People were both happy and sad. Soon everybody departed with different things on their mind.
