"You cannot be serious? You are a young woman and have no place in such a professional anything. I forbid you! "
"And if I can! You told me to say anything more! If you should have expired, I'm growing up and can do whatever I want and leave. And I want that job. You'll see I get what I want. With or without your permission! "
Haruka had turned angry and slammed the door out of sheer anger. Her mother was left stunned.
'This kid makes me mad. I'm just worried about it yet. I've already lost my husband through this profession and do not want to experience again. She's my only child and this is purely a man's job. But my little stubborn it will realize even more that this is not for them. At least I hope so

Haruka had meanwhile arrived at her room and grabbed her things now. They would begin their training tomorrow and she wanted her mother before at least talk about it and do not disappear just like that. Finally, they had signed up without their knowledge at the fire school. "That's what you like, if you want to be nice sometimes. I do not know why she was so upset about it. There is nothing to it. Dad was finally also the fire department. "While she grabbed the only way she muttered to herself and not noticed that her mother had followed her.

"I know full well that your father was there at the fire department and also that you've been interested for a little girl. But please try to understand it myself. I'm worried sick about you. You were always like a tomboy and cannot test anxiety. For this reason, I do not want you to do that. Of course I do not trust it to you, and I am also convinced that you can do it. But the fear of you I cannot just sit. But I have already lost your father through these activities and you also do not want to lose. "With tear-filled eyes and broken voice came to her daughter Naomi Tenou. Haruka did at the sight of her mother, and sorry for the loss of memory of her father, to have it first approached Sun "Sorry, Mom, that I said such harsh words to you. I know how hard you are always worried to me. But it happens to be my greatest wish and I've already passed the proficiency test. Please let me try. I'll have to take care of me and I promise you to do anything reckless. "Hesitantly nodded and hugged her daughter Naomi. "All right I'll try. But promise me that you are regularly call me, so I'm not quite so worried. "Haruka hugged her mother and gave this promise.

In the evening the two women spent trying to reminisce. Naomi wanted to go with her daughter about her father speak, who had left the young family, six years after the birth Harukas a tragic way.

Flash back
Steven Tenou, half-Japanese was just advanced in his squad husband Cody in the burning building to search for reported missing persons. He was a dedicated firefighter and soul for him there next time with his family no better feeling than helping other people in an emergency. His friend had just come fresh from the fire engine and firefighters to his school in his youthful recklessness; he rushed into it without having to pay attention to consequences, blindly into the building. Steven had no other choice but to follow him and protect against stupidity. But unfortunately, he overlooked even while his security, which he then was ultimately fatal.

Fully equipped with breathing apparatus and nozzle, Steven felt more and more into the dense smoke-filled building. He could hardly see his hand before his eyes and he felt his way before half-blind for his partner to look for. This had already arrived at the stairs and went now on their way to the top, where he expected to find the missing persons. Steven followed him and had this uneasy feeling that he was able to classify at this time but not yet.

Finally, the two found a small child who was crying bitterly. Cody crawled as fast as he could to the crying child. He carefully picked it up in his arms and tried before the toxic fumes to protect by the girl gently overlaid so-called escape hood, while he persuaded them to calm. "It's all right, kid. I'm from the fire and I'll get out of here now. First, I must, however, from you know if someone is still out in the house. Can you tell me perhaps? "The girl seemed, in spite of the predicament and her great anxiety to think about it and finally shook his head. "No, I'm sorry." Cody noted the sad tone in the voice of the girl and he patted her reassuringly on the cheek. "That's okay. My colleague will take care of it already. I will put thee now this mask, so you do not inhale all this smoke. We do not want after all, the fact that you get sick. "The little girl slowly calmed down and nodded.

After Cody had placed her escape hood, he took her in his arms and carried her toward the stairs. Arriving at this he met Steven, who had been watching the whole situation satisfactory. "I just bring the baby out and then come back to you." Steven nodded to his partner and he was left alone.

Steven knew it was forbidden, as the troops should stay together forever. However, since other people were missing, the squad leader had given them that freedom. The guard was chronically understaffed and so had the gangs from time to time also separate times, so that people in distress for too long remained in this situation. And so did Steven ever in mind the next room to browse on this floor. Cody was ultimately based on the path of the installed hose and sees him so locate definitely be back. Unfortunately Steven had not considered that in a burning building, no matter how could lurk some dangers.

Just as he opened the door to another room, which he had previously tested for heat by touching it with bare hands, it was in the back of the house explosion. The shock was so strong that shook the entire building and began to collapse. Steven had no chance to save his comrades, and so had to watch helplessly as the building fell into each other and Steven was buried under the rubble.

Cody had just entered through the front door and in the process of the building with the girls to leave on his arm, as the shock wave from the explosion covered him to the ground and broke. Presence of mind, he turned in the fall so that the girl fell on him and not be injured. Paramedics were immediately rushed to him and had taken the girl. Cody picked himself up and wanted to get back into the house. But before he reached the door, the building collapsed. "NO! STEVEN! "

Immediately after the collapse was complete silence. No one was able to move. The shock of what had just happened, was sitting too low. Jason, the team leader took the biggest complaints. Finally, it was his responsibility to ensure that the group had split up and then bury one of their comrades under the collapsed building was. 'I would have from the beginning to insist that the two stay together. Then this would not happen.

All attempts to reach Steven via radio, while his comrades were trying to remove the debris to rescue him were unsuccessful. Only the loud beeping noise showed the firemen where they had to look. This coverage was every firefighter to wear respiratory protection in the event of an unforeseen accident with him and it was generally applied at lap the strap from the respirator.

When the firefighters finally were able to see their comrades, they increased their efforts again. But it was too late. Far too many debris Steven had literally buried, and so were the paramedics, and emergency only to find even the death of the firefighter.
