When they arrived they saw a structural fire in an apartment building complex that was ten stories high. The police had already arrived and were keeping the bystanders on the street back and out of danger.

Kim and Bobby grabbed the backboard, stretcher and bags of supplies and headed over to help Doc and Carlos in triage. Within minutes Jimmy and his crew arrived to combat the fire and look for people still trapped inside the building. Jimmy and Alex went in first and started a floor by floor search for anyone who was trapped. Jimmy and Alex took floor three, while Tony and Ian took floor two and Kevin and Mike took floor one. The fire was burning on the seventh floor in one of the apartments and quickly the teams began to search for residents who were trapped in the complex. As the group met up in the stairwell,

Jimmy said,"Tony, you and Ian go on up to four and search, Kevin you and Mike take five and six, Alex and I are going to seven with D.K and Walsh."

With that the group split up and headed to their respective floors. When Alex, Jimmy, D.K, and Walsh reached the seventh floor, they put on their masks and headed in. The hallway was thick with black smoke as Jimmy and Alex began checking the apartments for residents till they reached one where there was a young man who was unconscious from smoke inhalation. Alex felt for a pulse on the young man and finds a faint one on his neck. Luckily the man was small in stature and Alex was able to pick him up.

"Jimmy, you guys keep going, I'll take him down to the medics. Oh and be careful while I'm gone" Alex said.

"Ok." He said back to her as he turned to head back out into the hall.

Alex picked up the young man and headed for the stairs while Jimmy radioed for the medics to be standing by. Doc and Carlos were waiting with a stretcher at the entrance when Alex carried out the unconscious young man. After carefully placing the man on the stretcher, she let Doc and Carlos take over and radioed to Jimmy she was heading back up. He relayed his position to her and within minutes she had rejoined the group.

D.K and Walsh were working on containing the fire in one of the apartments while Alex and Jimmy searched the accessible regions of the apartment for tenants. The floor in the apartment begins to buckle beneath them as the four retreated to the safety of the hallway. As they moved, a piece of the floor fell out from under Alex. She felt the floor fall away from her feet and she screamed to Jimmy as she began falling. In an instant she felt Jimmy grab her arm and keep her from falling into the burning apartment below. Walsh and D.K rushed back in to help Jimmy pull her back through the hole. D.K took Alex's other arm while Walsh grabbed her jacket and the combined effort of the three men brought their fellow partner back to safety.

"Are you ok?" Jimmy asked her once they were in the safety of the hallway.

"Yeah, I'm fine just a little shaken up that's all." she replied.

A second hose team had arrived to help them as well as a ladder truck which was focusing a spray of water through the windows. As soon as the fire was out the group headed back outside. The medic's had finished attending to the wounded and Doc and Carlos had taken the unconscious man to the hospital and returned incase there were any other victims. Bobby sat on the back of the rig while Kim kept her eyes focused on the entrance.

"Why do you worry so much about him?" he asked her quizzically.

"I'm just as worried about the others in there with him, especially Alex." she replied back as she poked Bobby in the ribs.

Just then the remaining four firefighters emerged from the building and headed towards the truck.

"See I told you they'd be ok." Bobby said.

"I know. I knew you were right but the worry never goes away until everyone is out and accounted for." she replied.

"Its gotta be the motherly instinct in you." he said with a grin.

"I'm gonna go talk to Alex." Kim said as she headed towards Alex who was already moving in her direction.

"Ok. I'll let ya know if we get a call." Bobby said as he headed around to the front of the rig.

"Hey Alex how did everything go in there?" Kim asked.

"Pretty routine." Alex replied to Kim who had noticed that her friend was shaking a bit.

"Did something happen in there? You're shaking." Kim asked.

"Yeah something happened." she replied as she sat on the edge of the firetruck.

"Tell me what happened." Kim said as she sat beside Alex.

Alex began to recount what happened inside the building as Kim sat and listened. She couldn't believe what she was hearing, as Alex finished speaking Kim said,

"Oh my gosh, were you hurt?"

"No, luckily I screamed right as the floor gave way and Jimmy grabbed my arm before I fell through. I'm just a bit shaken up that's all" she replied.

"I can imagine. I'd better head back over to the bus. If you need anything call me on my cell phone, ok?" Kim said as she went to stand up.

"Ok, thanks. I really appreciate it." Alex said as she managed a small smile.

"No problem, that's what friends are for." Kim said as she turned to head back towards the bus.

"What was that all about?" Bobby asked when Kim climbed into the passenger seat of the bus.

"Oh nothing just girl talk." she replied.

"Kim I know you better than that, and judging by your facial expressions during that conversation it was obviously more than girl talk." Bobby said.

"You know me like a book don't you?" Kim replied.

"Absolutely." Bobby replied laughing to himself.

"Alex was telling me how close it came to there being more than one seriously injured person in that fire." Kim said.

"Really? What happened." Bobby asked.

Kim told Bobby what Alex and told her as they headed away from the scene of the structural fire. Bobby sat in silence, soaking in everything Kim has just told him.

"You'd better warn Davis that way if he talks to her and she's still shaken up he won't do something to set her off." Bobby said.

"That's a good idea. I'll give him the heads up next time I see him." Kim replied.
