Colorado Springs Fire Department
At the Colorado Springs Fire Department, it was just another day. Everyone was busy taking care of their tasks, and everyone was on high alert. Every single worker always had to be ready in case the alarms went off. If they did, all of the members working that shift would need to gather their belongings, put on their uniforms, and head to the truck. Obviously, every day was different from the next and none of them could ever anticipate what their day would look like.
Cold March Day
It was March, so the weather was still pretty chilly in Colorado. During the winter months, the firefighters were usually less busy. In the warmer summer months, there tended to be more accidents, and more fires started because of the heat. However, the team was always ready for anything. Fires could start at any time, so they remained alert. None of them ever imagined that this would be the day that they got the surprise of a lifetime.
