Changeling plumbers and firefighting Kirins.
What’s next? Bat pony cops?

Dragon cleanup crew for nuclear reactors. They're immune to radiation and can eat nuclear waste!

Sweet!
this is a good read
Good story, shame it is just a one off

Does Batman ring a bell?

As someone who has been casually demanding a kirin firefighter fic for ages, this has totally made my day. ^^ Loved it to bits!
Deeply disappointed that the fire station was not also on fire. Because it would be on Equestria :)
Love it, from ignition to the end.
Cute, funny, amusing, and very much a hero in the sense of it all.
Well done!
I haven’t even read this but I already wanna write a sequel about a Kirin who lives where I live in Southern California and uses their powers to start controlled burns in our local chaparral.

The story's great.
I am quite hyped for this kind of Slice-of-Life, exploring the casual day-to-day usefulness of Equestrian kind of magic, and how it'd affect human society.
And floofy Kirins singing edgelord songs is just too awesome a mental image.
...Although, admittedly, floofy Kirins are awesome by default, but you get my meaning.
10757432
That's how you get Night Lords.
And you don't ever go full
retarNight LordFantastic stuff, both the incidental world building and the tense climax. (Seriously, chewing glass is brilliant and I can't believe I've never seen it before.) Thank you for an outstanding read.
Nicely done. I bet Biscuit would be proud xD
Hmm. Sounds like somepony should start making a less overpowered (and therefore much easier to source materials for and create) version of the artifact that Twilight makes in https://www.fimfiction.net/story/190828/walking-through-fire, could be a useful thing for fire departments to have...
Also seems to have ended much better for everybody involved than https://www.fimfiction.net/story/321485/a-creature-of-black-and-yellow did, luckily for them. (Been a while since I last read that one...)
The man did his best impression of a foetus

This is the UK spelling.
Excellent work! I’ve long thought that certain types of Equestrian were well-suited to dangerous human jobs because of their unique skillset—pegasi search and rescue or weather patrol, seapony or hippogriff sea rescue, unicorns remote-manipulating things in hazardous environments, and I had considered the idea of kirin as firefighters reasoning at the least that they’re probably fireproof.
I hadn’t really thought it all the way through, not nearly as you did. Certainly pitfalls to having a firefighter who’s also on fire, at the very least they’d have to change their approach (depending on the situation, and your particular elemental headcanon [which is genius, by the way], scouting out fires that were too dangerous for humans to approach could be valuable, especially if there’s a question if somebody’s still in there needing rescue.
I’ll admit that I never even considered dragons as firefighters, and I have no idea why that never crossed my mind.
This is absolutely fantastic!
10757432
Funny you should mention that.

Figured it was right up your alley.
I was gonna PM you if you hadn’t seen this one
10757628
Literally the only time they appeared in the show was as guardsponies. I know you hate cops to the point of being temp-banned for sheer vitriol, but come on.
10757928
really,? neat.
10758045
Lol bodyguards/chauffeur ain’t cops
Very good story! :)
10757558
Happy to be of service!
10757564
Sounds very Estee-esque. I don't know if I'm quite able to pull off that level of shenanigans.

"So, what do you do for a living?"

Can't imagine cleaning staff being too happy if dragons start sticking chewed glass under seats everywhere.

I'd definitely put fire-attuned members on the bench when investigating a suspected gas leak, or at least have them using their SCBA the whole time on site to avoid being an accidental source of ignition.
I've been binge-watching a lot of USCSB vids, and they really give you a sense of just how many ways things can go horribly wrong in an industrial facility.

I figured it will be a while before Earth has widespread access to heat-blocking/absorbing talismans and other magical gear. But they'll probably get there eventually.
10758233
Oh yeah, that was a good one. Thanks for bringing back memories.
I almost confused it with another story where the human visits a pony spa to get 'perked up', and he gets a spicy carrot rammed up his butt (which apparently is a thing done for real life horses).
10758313
Oh lol that’s not a carrot it’s ginger and it’s called figging for some reason. Surprisingly I’ve never tried it.
10758195

It turns out that ponies don't need to go to the bathroom because they run on cold fusion. Meanwhile, Maud Pie has found a bunch of glowing, green rocks. I wonder what they could be?They just emit iron when breathing. I would hazard that this also applies to dergs
I see what you did there.
That was fun. Needs to be longer, or have a sequel so we can spend more time with the team and their dynamics.
I need fanart of Ash and all the highschoolers lining up for hugs and selfies.
Sweet Inferno certainly put his everything into that. Nice story :)
The biggest problem with modern builds is being lightweight, and steel softens at a suprisingly low temperature, is that it doesnt take much of a fire to cause the structure to collapse, and it might be lightweight relative to size of building, but that still tons of dropping steel hitting and heating everything below.
Never mind all the alloys that can start burning, and the popularity of lithium batteries that cannot be put out except by flooding them in hydrocarbon?
And then you have clouds of superheated exploding hydrocarbon to deal with?
This was a great read! The draconic chewing glass (uranium flavored!) was a genius idea, Fern is overall a very fun character, and the action at the fire was really solidly done.
10758365
Ginger's just a spicy carrot anyways, right?Huh, so it is.10758445
*Waves hoof* "This isn't the Code you're looking for...
10758504
I was thinking more of elementary or middle school, but then again, I'd probably still do the same if a Kirin showed up while I was in high school.
10758772
Yeah, it is a bit of a gray area.
Did- did you just merge the Sith and Jedi codes? Because that is brilliant, and I am going to steal it.
10758828
Haha, really ?
I was just about to complement the author on the internal monologues.
Which I will still do.
Thankyou for adding to my Kirin headcanon.
Fire Elementals... Code of Balance... very nice
10757548
It's a free country! And hey, if they do get intimate, it looks like they've got fire safety covered!
10758828
Yeah, it's mostly a modified Sith Code, with Jedi values to counterbalance its base elements.
Uranium glass is awesome! It glows under a blacklight and is nowhere near as dangerous as people think it is. The radiation exposure is about the same as spending a few extra minutes in the sunlight. It's freaking expensive, though, and nobody makes it anymore.
10758828
We like to call that "healthy balance."
Great job, a very enjoyable read.
10759091
That sounds awesome! Hopefully a lot safer than those cesium watches!
Neat but dry.
10758772
Hard to act cool when the power of pony compels you
Oi, just wonder what kind of shenanigans there would be with ponies and Tiktok (or any other popular social media)?
Pretty sure changelings would try it until they figure out no matter how many likes and favs they get, nothing is coming through the little glass slab to feed them. Changed-lings would be the opposite I'd imagine and literally infest their corner of social media.
10760119
They would absolutely dominate the live adult entertainment industry, though. Regular humans won't be able to compete with somebuggy who can accommodate almost any fantasy...
10759788
It's pretty safe. Just got a bad reputation after 1945. I really wish uranium glass would make a comeback. I would totally get a fancy Bohemian absinthe fountain.

Stillwater, MN about 20 minutes from here has some pretty famous antique malls. There's plenty of green glassware to be found. I'm not sure how much of it is the real thing, though. I understand that USB-connected phone geiger counters are a thing, though.
One thing that's often not considered. There's a safety manager in every plant, a company I used to work for had a really good one who had a direct line to the fire chief and would be contacted by him the moment any alarm goes off, even tests at 10pm. Any fire they had, the safety manager would inform what equipment, personal and chemicals were or would be involved.
10760560
Under ideal circumstances, yeah.
The circumstances leading to the fire are not the focus of this story, but the idea is that this plant has been cutting corners on maintenance and safety practices.
The USCSB has showcased disasters that were caused by criminally negligent management and sometimes almost cartoonishly unsafe practices.

Oooo pretty
