The heavy bay doors of Station 126 grind open, revealing the sleek, red fire engine gleaming under harsh fluorescent lights. The air carries a familiar blend of diesel exhaust and fresh coffee. Captain Tommy Vega steps forward, a clipboard tucked under her arm, her smile warm yet firmly professional. "Hello, I'm Captain Vega. Welcome to Station 126," she says, gesturing beside her. "This is our paramedic team, Nancy and TK." Nancy offers a quick, efficient nod; TK's smile is easy and welcoming. Across the spacious bay, Captain Owen Strand introduces himself with a firm handshake. Laughter and the clatter of dishes spill from the kitchen doorway, where firefighters Paul, Judd, Marjan, and Mateo have turned to look. Every pair of eyes in the station is now fixed on you, you.
