The Firefighters Saga Of The Bikes


Jim knew that the fire bell would be sounding soon just by the look of the smoke. The problem was that the smoke was getting really thick around the house and he knew that it was just a matter of time before someone called the fire department that he was a member of. The problem was that it was not his house, but the neighbors house that was on fire.

Jim quickly grabbed a pair of pearl izumi shorts and ran out of the house. The bad thing was he did not realize that he grabbed the wrong pairs when he was leaving the house. He quickly realized what he did though and decided to turn around before the guys at the station seen him in what he was wearing.

As he was getting ready to head out of the house the tones were starting to go off for a garage fire. He heard that the complainant was the property owner and he was thankful for that because he knew that his neighbor was safe. However, depending on the part of the garage it could damage the very valuable diamondback bikes that were in their. He just worried that they would get to the fire before it reached them and could cause any damage to them.

He hopped onto his mongoose mountain bike and pedaled as fast as he could. The station was a little over a mile down the road, but it would still take him about two to three minutes to reach it. Once he reached it though he knew that it was going to be a slim crew today because the engine was not even started yet.

As he turned into the station the door was already going up, but the truck was not running yet. He quickly fired up the engine and heard it roar to life. He knew that the rest of the crew was going to be coming in quickly, but if they were not their by the time he was ready they would take off.

They started talking about who would drive, but then they noticed the address and decided that Jim could have the nozzle since he knew the house. Thankfully he had been in the garage only the day before so he know not a whole lot would change over night.

As Jim crawled into the building the nozzle tightly grasped in his hand he saw the flames rolling over his head. He was a little awestruck by this power, but quickly cracked open the nozzle and heard the reassuring hiss of the flames being beaten back. After the fire was out he walked over to his neighbor to check on him. Thankfully Jim saw the bikes sitting next to his neighbor with just a little bit of soot on the handles.
