//------------------------------// // March 29th (2nd Entry) // Story: The Journal of a Los Pegasus Firefighter // by Kiniro //------------------------------// March 29th (2nd Entry) So those sirens I heard earlier was the station crew arriving back to the fire house. I quickly composed myself to introduce myself to the team of 5. They had all looked like they had gone through hell earlier, covered in soot and dust, but that didn't stop some of them from being friendly, and having a sense of humor. I also got to see how the station crew structure was, and luckly I found out where I was. First off there was Captain Blue Flame, he was an earth pony, it was very friendly and welcoming of the crew, granted he was the leader so morale had to be his biggest thing, well other than leading. He insisted that ponies called him Captain Blue or just Blue. He had also given me the day to go meet my new crew mates, so hopefully no big calls would come in that I would have to miss! So no firefighting until tomorrow! If we get lucky enough to get calls... Anyway his second in command was Lieutenant/Engineer Hose Wrench, he was a Unicorn, or as he perfered as he perfered Enngineer Wrench. Of course he's main job was service the fire wagon's equipment and tools and make sure everything worked once on the scene. On top of that he was one of the ponies who pulled the wagon. Very quiet type, just gave his simple hoof shake, gave his name and went on his way. I mostly was filled in by Captain Blue about his other duties. Of course no fire crew is without its Firefighter Medic, she was a unicorn by the name of Gauze Patch. She perfered to be called by her title but the Captain and the other firefighters seemed to give her the nickname of Patches. It seemed to irritate her a bit, but she seemed to shrugged it off. She seemed to be friendly enough to me anyway. The last two were just the basic firefighter ponies. The first was Firefighter Smoke Breather, he was a pegasus, seemed to be a joker of types, but doesn't know where to stop, he immediately gave me the nick name of "FNP" which everyone in the crew responded in a laugh afterword. I'm not sure what this was, but I'm sure it was meant to be cool... I think. He perfered to just be called Smoke. Talk about a lame nickname. The last firefighter on the team was Firefighter Flash Point, he was another earth pony on the team. Seemed to have an attitude on him. Just kinda shrugged me off after the "FNP" remark from Smoke, he just introduced himself, didn't have a nickname for himself, and made a snide remark about me being the new blood and that I'd probably wash out soon enough. I wonder what bit him in the hind quarters. The crew was an interesting mix. A bit of friendly with... a bit of what I remember from the academy. Well hopefully that would change as time goes on. Well at least I could hope so, and of course I'm apart of that team as the new firefighter, and the "FNP" apparently. I really wonder what that means though... -Red Spark P.S. Really Smoke? "FNP" Means Fucking New Pony? You asshole you barely know me! I see he has a sense of humor... No one else seems to mind... hmm not even Captain Blue. I'll just shrug it off and hopefully can get him back for it later.
