Section Four - Narrative
Narrative of Incident: I was off duty when I drove by a car crash scene that followed up from a pursuit. I've noticed a cruiser crashed at the side of the road, it appeared to have smashed into the wall. I aided the trooper, and shortly, Firefighter Austin was on scene in a Rescue, he took over the trooper as I noticed another vehicle crashed.
I asked a trooper about the condition of the other driver, I was told he was unconscious. I rushed over and checked on the condition of the driver, the door appeared to have been jammed. I quickly took a step back to size-up the scene, when I heard someone say something about a fire, I saw a few flames coming from the engine compartment.
I quickly asked a trooper to take me to the station 1 code three, I was rushed by an unknown member of the State Police back to the firehouse where I took the engine.
I raced back to the scene, and as I pulled up, the flames were getting bigger and bigger, the tires were melting. I had no time to think or react, I haven't put on my turnout gear, I just pulled the bumper line, pried the hood open, and started attacking with foam. A few minutes of attacking later, the fire was completely out, but the driver hadn't survived, a burned corpse remained inside of the vehicle.
Shortly after, I disbanded the engine and went on with my day.
