The story of a female firefighter who is with the Nashville fire department; this is her story prior to being injured while rescuing a little boy.
Brooklyn Marie Harrington is 28 years old, and she looks like she could be a teacher or even an office worker because she always manages to look clean and well dressed, but that is when she is not in her work environment. Her work environment is not in an office building or s school; in fact, her work environment happens to be at the local fire station.
Brooklyn Marie Harrington is a firefighter for the Nashville (Tennessee) fire department; and she has been a firefighter for ten years now. She was a firefighter for the New York City (New York) fire department for 7 years prior to coming to Tennessee three years ago. She came to Tennessee to escape the horrors and memories of September 11, 2001, when many of her fellow firefighter friends died in the terrorist attacks on America that unforgettable day, and this is something she does not care to talk about, let alone, remember; yet, in the back of her mind, she knows she cannot forget.
Brooklyn Marie is very pretty, with long, blonde wavy hair that she usually wears down and big, blue-green eyes; but her face is often not noticeable because she is usually wearing firefighter's garb: boots, fireproof pants, fireproof coats, oxygen tank and mask, fireproof gloves,and protective helmet to protect their heads in case of falling debris from burning buildings or other natural disasters such as tornadoes, floods, or severe thunderstorms. She is slight in size, but she is very strong, and she easily wears about 50 pounds of equipment when she is in her firefighter garb.
Firefighting is sweaty, hot, and extremely dangerous work, but Brooklyn finds it fascinating, challenging, and extremely exciting, and she always feels the thrill of saving somebody's life as well as the incredible heartbreak when they lose somebody despite their efforts to save a person's life with cardiopulmonary rescue (CPR) efforts. She works with an average of four to five other people, and she always enjoys her work, even though it often means working as much as 24 hours a day at a time and staying at the fire station, away from her family. She misses her family, but not for long, especially when lives are at stake or buildings are on fire and need to be put out before the buildings are totally damaged or levelled from the fires.
She spends many long hours at the fire station with her co-workers, trying to pass time by helping them check and clean any equipment or the fire trucks, playing card games or reading or watching tv (usually CNN; she is a news freak even despite having to go through something like September 11, 2001), or going through the daily logs, to see how they have fared during past cases, but when that bell sounds, she and her team are always on guard, and they are ready to respond to a cry for help at a given moment's notice. She then puts her game face on, and she and her co-workers then jump into the fire truck, hit the sirens, and soon, they are speeding towards another fire, another accident, or another similar situation where lives are at stake.
