Chapter Text
COVID-19 has hit Seattle area fire stations HARD from 19's A SHIFT: New Guy, Jack Gibson, and Lucas Ripley; from B SHIFT: Rigo Vasquez,
Sukesh Navida, Monica Morales, Lieutenant Jess Franklin, and Bey Barclay; C SHIFT has three firefighters down, one who was expected to survive
(she also 'vapes', complicating her situation). D Shift illnesses/casualties include Don Keiffer, Mike Perez, Jak Johansson, and Pao Lopez.
Station 23 doesn't have nearly as many: David Mayhorn is down, as are Larissa Morales and Cade Michaels, along with Captain Aquino.
The total number of casualties from the remaining Seattle area fire stations is 22 (with 9 deaths).
Three firefighters in the city and two from the area covered by the Sheriff's Department have been injured in confrontations with demonstrators
who want the state re-opened for business immediately, and oppose vax and mask mandates (I often wonder how these individuals have
TIME to demonstrate!)
Who will succumb? Who should fall? (by that I mean DIE?? How will the remaining firefighters cope with the short-handed status; also with
all of the deaths and close calls, the child abandonment, the 'broken code', and un-requited love The hospital scenes may not be as accurate
as they are in actual medical centers, ERS, or EMTS, and I will try to research those all that I can.
