When the 55 pulled up, the fire was raging. Mercedes jumped out, followed by the team and shook her head. This was gunna be a long night. It was one of the 2 Family homes that existed in their Borough of NYC. She nodded to DK, who grabbed Walsh and went in. She looked at new Guy, who was staring in awe. She poked him and pointed towards the hoses. He ran over as she called for a 5" and he hooked up it to a hydrant, running over to her with it. She nodded for him to follow her and moved for the building.

"OK, put your mask on. When we go in, I want you right behind me. Do not let go of the hose, this is a major fire and I don't want you hurt." She claimed as they walked in through the front door. He nodded and followed closely, looking around. She held the nozzle and came up behind DK and Walsh. She passed the line off to them and then commenced her check of the house. They moved up the stairs to the second floor.

On the ground, Bosco pulled up with Monroe and looked up, sighing. He walked over, blocking traffic and trying to keep bystanders back. He turned to hear one of the windows on the 3rd floor explode. The glass flew everywhere as he kept people back. He saw the 55 squad and hoped his sister was all right. Carlos and Levine waited to see if anyone came out with any of the firefighters. Bosco walked over, asking how it was going. Carlos shrugged, not really sure. No firefighters had come out yet, but there were no signs that anyone was in danger.

In the fire, DK called saying he was moving to the second floor as Mercedes moved to the 3rd. It was a small apartment type room, and she cleared it for it to be hosed down. She looked over at the new kid, who was watching her.

"We can go outside now. DK and Walsh can handle what's going on. We just need to be break up the floor from downstairs and we are done. Come on." She walked out, keeping him near her. She moved to the 2nd floor and called to DK, telling him that she was going to break the floor up. He acknowledged and she demonstrated how to break the floor. Kevin copied her and succeeded in busting the floor. She nodded, moving them into the kitchen, and told him to bust the windows. He broke them, and hit the wall near the stove. She heard a hissing and her eyes widened. She grabbed him, shoving him out the door.

Carlos was watching the building as it burned. He saw DK and Walsh come out, then the building blew up. His eyes widened as DK and Walsh were thrown forward, against the street. He ran over to them as form flew out of the 2nd floor window. Mercedes slammed into the lawn full force, moaning from pain. The probie was nowhere in sight. She rolled onto her back and coughed as Carlos ran to her and checked her out. Bosco ran to her side as she looked at him. She was just dazed, no major injuries, and asked about the probie.

"He didn't come out. You were thrown from a window." He helped Carlos get her on a board as she tried to get up.

"Oh god! No!" She fell against the backboard, cursing. She thought she got him out. She threw him for a reason, what happened? Carlos put her on a stretcher and shoved her into the Bus. Levine started to drive as DK and Walsh got in back with Bosco. Mercedes had only gotten minor heat exhaustion and a concussion. But the poor probie, he died in the explosion. His body would be found a day later, in the rubble.
