Engine Six
Engine companies have four individuals: an officer, a pump operator and two fire fighters. The two fire fighters are referred to as the "lead off man" and the "pipe man". A "lead off man" will get off the engine at the nearest hydrant and pull off several length of hydrant connection hose. He or she connects the hose to the hydrant and then the engine would proceed to the building. The officer and "pipe man" will grab a fire hose and head into the building. The pump operator will connect the hose line from the hydrant to the engine and then signal the "lead off man" to start the water. After starting the water the "lead off man" will join the other two inside the building.
In my book and series I have two characters who work on Engine Six. Fire Fighter Haley Madison and Kim Trella. For their profiles see the right hand side of the page.
