HUNTER
“It’s cooking in here,” I shout to be heard over the deafening roar of
the fire. “This building isn’t going to stay upright much longer.”
We got a callout to a fire in a warehouse that housed a machine shop. The
fire has been fast-moving and aggressive, engulfing the building and
trapping all the employees inside. We managed to get everybody we found
out, but the way some of the victims talked after we pulled them out, there
might be more still inside.
Darnell Evans, my best friend, and number two, looks worried behind the
plastic shield of his mask. The churning and roiling flames are reflected in
that clear plastic, casting us both in a fiery red glow that looks fucking
apocalyptic.
“This zone is clear of civilians,” Darnell says. “The other zones have
already checked in and are clear, too. I think we need to get out of here,
LT.”
I open my mouth to order Darnell out when a sound catches my ear. But
visibility is shit and with the growl of the fire and the swirl of the wind
being forced through the building, I can’t get a fix on where the sound is
coming from. If there’s even a sound, to begin with.
“What is it?”
“I’m not sure,” I say and strain my ears, listening hard. “Hang on a second.”
“This building’s about to come down, Hunter. We may not have a second.”
Overhead, the fire rolls along the roof, writhing like a serpent, and the
beams groan ominously. Sweat slicks my body beneath the heavy turnout
gear. Squinting, I try to see through the wall of flames, searching
desperately for any other victims who might be trapped in this quadrant. It
looks clear. But I know better than most that looking clear isn’t the same as
being clear, and I’m not going to pull out before I’m absolutely certain my
zone is actually clear. I’m not going to make that mistake and leave
somebody behind. Not again.
“Hunter—”
“Shut the fuck up a minute,” I growl. “I thought I heard something.”
“Weston, Evans, that building is about to go. Get the hell out of there!”
Captain Arnold Ray, our superior and the incident commander, shouts
through our radios.
One of the exposed beams above cracks sharply, raining sparks and flaming
splinters down over us. The roof isn’t going to hold much longer. It’s not
often that I’m not decisive. That I don’t see a course of action and take it.
It’s possible I’m hearing phantoms right now, and if I insist on chasing
them, I’m putting Darnell at risk. If I do nothing, though, and it turns out we
left somebody to die in this inferno, I know it’s going to fuck me up.
“LT—”
I turn to Darnell. “Get out of here.”
“What?” he asks, his eyes widening.
“Go, man. I want to make one more quick sweep—”
“No way. I’m not leaving you—”
“That’s an order, Darnell. Get the fuck out of here.”
“Weston, get out of there. That’s an order,” Captain Ray’s voice crackles
through the radio.
