Texas Firefighter Narrative

My mom was always worried I´d get hurt and my dad was worried about the family name but, I still put my all into it. Two years into the service on a hotter day than any other, I got a call from a small child maybe nine?

¨Mom and dad told me to call, my little sister is stuck.¨ She said in a quivering small voice.

¨Where are they stuck? Where are you
