2200, Thursday, July 3rd.

EMT classes sucked ass. They were fun at times, but lord. All I can say is I'm glad I'm done with class. That's a lie, imma talk my shit. The guys that were in the class acted like they knew everything even though us girls were bodying them everyday. I wouldn't be upset if I never saw any of those guys' faces ever again. the girls though? I miss them. I hope they get the jobs they want. women supporting women always. I'm lucky I got the job I wanted. I originally was going for private 911, but I applied for a Fire/EMS agency that was near where I live. My certs. where what they were looking for apparently because the interview was quick as hell. the Chief, Mr. Singer, was very nice. he gave off such dad vibes, like everyone in the department were his kids. he interviewed me, along with one of the paramedics, Cas i think his name was? well that was a week ago and tomorrow is my start day. tomorrow is also the fourth of july. what a great day to start on! WRONG! im about to see so many missing fingers and hand its not even funny. however ive always been the baptised by fire type i suppose, sink or swim you know? 

Anyway, I've got so much to do. Shower tonight because im not spending all day on the rig with wet hair, get my uniform ready and pack a backup in my bag just incase, pack my lunch because i dont know how they do meals here, some bedding for the bunk because im doing a 48hr, and get all my equipment that I want to bring, packed. I know they have stethiscopes in the BLS bag but I much prefer my pink one. Listen, it's not even my favorite color but if i have a chanse to make a male dominated field as girly as possible im taking it. pens? pink. Charting is all oline anyway so nobody is going to see it. Pen light? pink. rapters? pink. theyre off brand though, i dont have lettermen money. my point being, everything i can get in pink is pink. but i digress, i have shit to do and i have to get to bed, i have to be there by 0800 and i plan on getting there at least a half hour early so i can figure out where everything is and do an inspection on the ambulance to learn where everything is. 

0630, Friday July 4th.

“ugh, its way too fuckin early.”

Alright, I have a little over half an hour to get ready. The department is a fifteen minute drive from my apartment, so I want to leave no later than 0715. 

i mute my alarms and pull my blankets off. The morning air is cool in my apartment with the AC that's been running all night. I'll worry about fixing my bedding if I have time before I leave. I walk into the bathroom and flip the lights on. 

“Oh god, you'd think I fought a raccoon in my sleep... and lost.”

ill fuck with my hair after i brush my teeth and get my skincare out of the way. Should I wear any makeup today? It's not like I'll have any time for anything but mascara. eh, it's not worth it. I'll probably just end up getting it in my eyes while I'm working. Maybe I'll invest in a better mascara after my first paycheck. I'm running off fumes for money currently. 

i walk out of the bathroom and back into my bedroom to get changed. Looking into my mirror to make sure my uniform looked good, I turned to different ways to see how it fit. duty pants have always made my ass look good. I put my stethoscope and shit in their designated pockets and pick up my bags to head out to my car. 

With my bags in my passenger seat and my big ass water bottle there too, I can't get dehydrated on the job, so I get into the driver's seat and start her up. A ‘68 Corvette, cherry red. She was left to me by my dad when he passed. He loved his classics and passed that love onto me. i, however, was not very good at fixing cars like him. I learned the basics but could never figure out the rest.

“ooo listen to you purr girl,” I muttered. “Thats my favorite sound right there.”

peeling out of the apartment parking lot, I head to the Fire Department. Blasting music with the windows down is the best way to calm some nerves about starting a new job. 

As I get closer to the department I can see that they must have just got back from a fire of some sort, because they have the trucks pulled out in front of the bay and they are giving them a wash. 

I think my music may be a hair too loud because a few of the guys  washing the trucks turn their heads to look. just a quick look though. 

“Damn, what are they feeding the guys here? they're huge," I say to myself.

I make my way to the back of the building to park my car. grabbing my bags, i head in and walk to what i hope is the chiefs office. 

  “Yes,” I whisper to myself as I read the little name plate on the wall next to the door. “First try.”

I knock on the door and wait to hear the Chief Singer let me in. 

“Come in,” a gruffed voice calls out.

I open the door and head in.

“Ahh y/n! How's it going? ready to start?” he asks.

“Yes sir,” I answer.

“Please just call me Bobby,” Chief Singer gently corrects.

“you got it,” i relied

  i take a look around his office, its very minimalistic. seems like he prefers to be out with everyone else instead of held up behind a computer. Chief Sing- Bobby, stands up out of his chair and walks around the desk. he says he wants to get me introduced to everyone ill be working with for the next 48hrs and beyond.

“Really quick, where can I set my stuff down?” I questioned.

“Just set them here in my office for now, I'll have one of the girls show you to the female bunks later,” Bobby told me.

I set down my bags and water bottle and started walking with Bobby. He started to tell me where everything was, we made our way to the common area. There were some recliners and a couch. A TV was mounted to the wall with a movie playing. There were a couple people sitting in the recliners, a woman and two men. Bobby got their attention and introduced me, 

“Guys, this in y/n. She's our newest EMT, let's behave and not scare her away alright?”

The first to get up was the woman. She was roughly my age, and she had red hair in a sort of bob cut. She came up and introduced herself.

“Hey! My name is Charlie, I'm one of the EMTs. I'm also the only other EMT on shift currently, so it's us two and the two paramedics. Hopefully we’ll get to work on the rig together at some point!” 

“Hi, it's nice to meet you! I can't wait to get a chance to work with you,” I responded.

The next to say anything is a scruffy looking man, slightly on the shorter side. He's got a LEO uniform on so I'm not sure what he's doing here. 

“Hello, it's good to meet you.” The officer waves his hand from where he was sitting, and turns his attention back to the movie that was playing. He never gave me his first name but I could see his last name on his vest, Officer Crowley. cool last name if you ask me. I'm sure I'll get his first name at some point.

and lastly, the paramedic, Cas i think. he had gotten up out of his seat to greet me.

“good to see you again, y/n.” he said in his gruff voice. “You'll be riding with me for the first 24hrs. Ruby, our other paramedic, is with Charlie for that. the second half of your shift will be with charli on a BLS truck while I'm on the sprint unit.”

“oh shit i forgot that ruby wasn't going to be here tomorrow!" charli exclaimed.

“Looks like we'll get to work on the ambulance together sooner than we thought” i giggled, i could already tell that me and charli were going to be good friends. like hanging out outside of work type friends.

something caught Bobby's attention and he headed back to his office, paperwork probably.

“so, Cas right? Would you mind showing me around and showing me how you guys set up your trucks? I want to be at least somewhat familiar with the setup before we get a call.” I looked at Cas while I said this, and he brought his focus more towards me when I said ‘cas’ so I had gotten his name correct. thank god, otherwise this would have been very embarrassing.

“Yeah, let's head to the truck bay,” he started to walk towards what I would assume is the truck bay. I give a quick wave to charli who is back to watching the movie playing, and follow after cas.

we came up to the door for the bay and cas opened it. The bay doors are still open, and the trucks are still outside but it seems like the guys I saw earlier are done washing them, instead they are standing in a circle talking. There's a woman there talking with them too, wearing the same uniform shirt as Cas, making me assume that that would be Ruby, the other paramedic. 

I look around the truck bay, there's a ladder truck, an engine , and a tanker in front of their respective spaces, waiting to be pulled into the spots. closest to the door I just came in from, there were two ambulances. one in front of the other. and finally all the way on the other side of the bay was the sprint unit. to the right of me there's some more doors along the wall, what i can assume are the stock rooms for when we need to restock the ambulances. as well as probably the gear lockers.

“Hey!” cas shouted over to the group. 

The group looked over and some of them gave a small wave. Ruby’s face seemed to light up a small bit at the sight of me.

“hey, is this the new hire?” she asked as she walked over to me. “It's nice to meet you, it'll be good to have some more women around, me and charli are drowning in testosterone!” she laughed.

“hi, it's nice to meet you too!” I gave a chuckle. “I'm so glad you and charli are around, i dont think i could deal with being on my own.”

ruby laughed a bit and went back to where she was within the group. Speaking of the group, one of the guys made their way to greet me. He was spindly looking, kind of geeky but had a nice smile. He looked very kind.

“hi, welcome aboard, my name is Garth,” he said, sticking out his hand to shake mine. 

“im y/n, it's nice to meet you,” I gave a small smile and shook his hand.

“Well the whole crew isn't here right this minute, they scattered as soon as we started getting stuff to wash the trucks,” he laughed, a few of the others nodding and laughing as well. “but this is jack,” he pointed to a man with a baby face, and a goofy little smile. “This is Gabriel," he moved over to the shortest of the group, he looked me up and down and wiggled his eyebrows but gave a chuckle and reached his hand out to shake mine. I could tell he must be the jokester of the group and that he was just playing around. Garth then pointed to the tallest of the group. and by tallest i mean this man is a giant, although that could be because hes standing next to gabriel but i had to physically move my head upwards to look him in the eyes. “That there is Sam, if you have a question about anything, ask him, he knows a ton,” said man gave a shy smile and shook my hand while saying a gentle ‘hi’. I shook his hand and gave him a smile as well. Finally I look over to see what I would consider a literal angel on earth. This man was etherically beautiful. not much shorter than sam, beautiful green eye that i could just get lost in for days. beautifully tanned skin with a dusting of adorable freckles. wide ass shoulders and a slutty little waist, im sure if i could see him from the back hes got a great as too. This man was a walking wet dream. “last but not least is Dean.”

“Nice to meet you,” I stuck my hand out to shake his. god his hands are huge.

“Nice to meet you too,” Dean said with a smirk. He gave my hand a light squeeze before letting go. 

“well, now that you're acquainted with a good majority of the guys, lets head over to the rig and ill go over everything with you,” Cas spoke from beside me. I nodded in agreement, gave a quick wave to everyone and began walking away with cas. This is going to be a good day. I think I'll like it here just fine.
