The tones sounded at Station 51 alerted the crew to respond
to another rescue call on a warm and muggy Friday evening in Carson California.
"Station 51, Engine 36, Engine 7, Engine 56, Truck 8, Battalion 14.
Structure fire with people trapped, 1017 Perry, 1-0-1-7 Perry, cross street
Winger, Police are at scene, multiple ambulances are responding, Time out, 18:31."
Sam announced over the station's intercom.
"Station 51, KMG 365" Hank replied before putting the mic away in
its usual spot.
Hank then gave the address sheet to Johnny & Roy while seated in the squad
and then headed for the big engine to respond to the location of the Structure
fire response.
Both vehicles left the station and into traffic with lights flashing and sirens
wailing.
Six minutes later, Station 51 arrived at the Perry address location
where Police officer Vince Howard and Police detective Paula Nash met them at
the scene.
"What happened here, Vince?" asked Hank.
"We have a search warrant for that suspect, Jake Wyman also we have a warrant
for his arrest on charges of distributing moonshine and alcohol under a false
name, assault with a deadly weapon and armed robbery." Vince said.
"And when we got inside? He went absolutely berserk and started setting
fires all over the house, he is a real nutcase!!" Paula added.
"All right thanks Vince, Paula, we'll take it from here." replied
Hank.
"Right Hank” said Vince.
"Same here Captain" said Paula.
A few minutes later, Engines 36, 7, & 56 arrived at Station 51's incident.
Inside the burning house Johnny, Roy, & Chet with their
air masks on were trying to find several people including Jake Wyman who was
suffering from smoke inhalation and who are trapped upstairs in one of the bedrooms.
"Hello? Anyone there?" Shouted Johnny.
"Hello? Anyone there? Again shouted Johnny.
But there was no sign of the people anywhere in the burning house.
Moments later, Fire Chief Mike Richards from Battalion 14 and Truck 8 arrived
at 51's incident trying to find out what caused the fire at that home address?
"Hank, what happened here?'" asked Chief Richards.
"Several people are trapped inside this burning house, Chief Johnny,
Roy, ND Chet are in there trying to get them out fast." said Hank.
"All right hank thanks, I’ll take it from here"
"Sure thing, Chief"
Back inside the burning house The three firemen finally found a few people who
are all suffering from smoke inhalation and must get out the house fast and
Johnny found the suspect Jake Wyman who was also choking from the thick smoke
and who also had a bad head injury.
Moments later, all victims were out of the house when suddenly a big explosion
from inside the house caused Roy to hit his head on the floor.
"ROY!" Johnny screamed.
"ROY!" shouted Chet.
Johnny and Chet ran to see Roy.
A few minutes later, the ambulance attendants carried Roy on a gurney including
a female victim who was carried inside the backboard so they can put them in
the ambulance to transport them to Rampart Emergency which was about 3 minutes
from that house fire location.
Johnny went inside the ambulance to treat Roy and the female patient before
getting them to the hospital and Chet went inside the squad to follow the ambulance
to the hospital so they could be treated.
The next day, Johnny and Chet went to go see Roy at the hospital, when they
got there Dr. Early and Dixie were there when they arrived inside.
"Morning guys" said Dixie.
"Morning Dix" replied Johnny.
"We came here to see Roy to see how he's feeling and everything?"
"Okay guys, we'll be outside"
"Sure thing, Dix"
"Hey, Junior how's it hanging?" asked Roy
"Fine Roy, just fine." Replied Johnny.
"Look Buddy, sorry that we didn’t make it to the game last night"
"That's okay, they’ll be next time"
"I sure hope so"
"Me too"
