At that very minute, a fire truck screeched to a halt and right behind it, a medical rig swerved over to the curb. Zach Malvaso leaped out of Truck Eleven, followed by his crew. The firehouse had been part of the restructure of the fire department and had added two firefighters combined with a medical truck.

The sound of both motors was a loud, constant hum. Both men conferred. Rafe explained the situation, and about the need to move the victims because of the fear of the compromised gas tank and ended with, “Gideon got inside to help, and the roof caved in before he could get out.”

Zach motioned to his crew. “Manchester and Giancarlo, douse the gas tank with foam. Coretta, hop onto the trunk. You’re in charge of the roof. Collins bring the Jaws of Life. You and I will rip back the metal.”

Lucy Coretta whipped off her air tank and turnout coat. Collins and Jasmine Lowden, the rookie, boosted her up to the trunk and Lowden handed her the Jaws of Life. The sudden noise of the generator filled the air, joining that came a teeth-hurting grate of metal hitting metal. When the cut was done, Lucy jumped down to make room for Collins and Malvaso to pull back the roof. Muscles bulged and grunts came until the thing was off. They hopped to the ground.

Captain Grady O’Connor, who was newly assigned to the medical rig, hoisted himself up onto the trunk. “I need a collar.” Paramedic Lisa Beth Duncan handed one to him. O’Connor wrapped the spongy material around Gideon’s neck, then tried to pull him out. “He’s stuck. Guys, you have to get him free.”

Manchester cleared out the debris inside and O’Connor yelled, “He’s loose now.” Again, he placed his hands under Gideon’s arms and drew him up. The exertion caused O’Connor’s face to redden and his breathing speed up. The crew eased Gideon onto a backboard. Then O’Connor and Duncan carried him to the medical rig.

The cap said, “Get him to Memorial, Grady.”

“Yes, sir.” O’Connor’s tone was wry as he and Zach were the same rank. They slid the backboard into the cab of the truck and O’Connor hopped in with him while Duncan got behind the wheel, turned on a blaring siren and the vehicle sped away.

In total, the rescue took ten minutes.
