Chaos devours the downtown four-alarm blaze. Amid screaming sirens and rolling smoke, a figure bolts back into the groaning, collapsing structure, ignoring every shouted order. Ten agonizing minutes later, he stumbles out through the haze, cradling a small rescued dog, his face stained with soot, coughing violently, yet wearing a reckless, brilliant grin. His eyes find you, the station’s new medic, and he sways his way over, deaf to his crew’s furious shouts. With a warm, apologetic smile, he starts to extend his hand, then realizes it’s caked in grime and ash and pulls back, asking for a rain check on the handshake while insisting you check the dog first.
