Playing with fire…


Yamcha was almost done filling in the paper work for the fire call when radio traffic started frantically. Many were portable radios that fire officers had on them at all times. Calls for extra manpower being dispatched, extra ambulances being requested to the site. The probie firefighter stared wide-eyed at the radio, a feeling of panic flowing over his body.

"Station seven eight, requesting the captain to the scene." Yamcha recognized the voice of his fellow firefighter Krillin calling back to the station.
"Krillin, what the hell is going on down there?"
"Get Vegeta down here now. The building came down. Juunanagou, Goku and the chief were on their way out when it happened." Yamcha didn't spare no time booking ass out of the radio room to find his captain that had stayed behind that morning. Searching the empty truck bays, the kitchen, and the sleeping quarters Yamcha was almost tempted to stalk into the bathroom when Vegeta came in from the street.

"Captain!" Yamcha shouted, panting for breath from running around frantically to find Vegeta.
"What?" Vegeta snapped back before taking a sip of coffee from a styrofoam cup.
"Krillin just called back, he's requesting you down to the scene right now."
"What's going on?" Vegeta asked stalking towards the radio room to pick up his personal radio that sat on the charger.
"The building came down…"
"So? Shit happens."
"Sir, three of our men might have been caught in the collapse. The Chief, lieutenant Goku and Juunanagou." Vegeta stiffened, fearing the worse. It was something that many did in this line of work, always fearing the worse.
"Damn it! I got three rookies coming in an hour. Make them wait here in the bay until I get back." Vegeta stomped his feet into his boots, pulling his bunker pants up over muscular thighs. He grabbed his turnout jacket and his helmet before splitting from the station for his personal vehicle.

Turning on his light bar in his brand new jet black pick up truck, Vegeta put the accelerator to the floor, peeling out of the side parking lot and onto the early morning streets. Blowing by red lights and stop signs, nothing was going to stop him in his race to get to the scene.

Captain Vegeta, a fourteen-year veteran of the department followed along the lines his fellow officer Kakarott had. His father was a Fire Chief, a very good one at that until one night when he was called to back up three other departments for a factory fire. The fire was out of control, and the factory owner wasn't straight up front with the information they needed. Chief Vegeta and five others perished when a spark ignited volatile chemicals the factory owner didn't disclose. Vegeta was only eight, but he remembered his mother coming to him, her face stained with tears. Before she even spoke a word he knew his father lost his life doing something he loved doing. It takes a special person to do the job, not just anyone will do. You have to have love of the fire, the bravery of no other, and willing to sacrifice your life for the lives of others.


Not caring if their lives were in danger or not, most of the firefighters from eight one rushed into the billowing pile of brick and wood looking for the six firefighters that were on their way out when the building became unstable and collapsed. Tien taking the lead, he scrambled towards the last place he seen them before everyone's vision was impaired by smoke and debris.
"Find them now!" Tien shouted out as hands dug into the pile pulling remains of the building away.
"Over here lieutenant!" Tien's head snapped up at the double shout from his rookie firefighters Trunks and Goten. Both lifting what seemed to be part of the roof, Tien could make out Nappa and Juunanagou as they ducked from under the wooden rafters. With a sigh of relief, Tien made his way over to help collect the four others that were still underneath.


Taking only seven minutes from the fire station to the scene, Vegeta stepped out of his truck, lights still flashing on top to survey the area. The top two floors of the apartment building was now a pile of rubble around the base. Flames were still devouring what was left while the majority of the fire fighters tossed bricks and lumber towards the building.
"Hn, what a mess." Vegeta grumbled out as he made his way over the obstacles in his path to find whom ever was still in charge.
"Juunanagou where are the others?" Vegeta belted out when he caught sight of the young daredevil whose face was smudged with dark soot.
"Over there." Juunanagou pointed towards the three ambulances on the other side of the fire pumper. Shaking his head, Vegeta sidestepped a few hose lines to get there.

Nappa, Raditz and Shin sat on the back bumper of one of the ambulances with oxygen masks being treated for smoke inhalation. Vegeta looked them all over before leaning against the hood of a rescue truck.
"Looking real nice in those boys." Vegeta smirked down at them giving them the thumbs up. Raditz just growled while Nappa gave him the finger. Chief Shin rolled his dark eyes at the captain as he tapped his fingers on the visor of his helmet.
"Nice of you to show up Vegeta. Come down to harass us or to help?" Shin asked pulling back his oxygen mask to talk.
"Came down here to make sure we were not dead. Is that a crime?"'
"No, but why don't you go check on Goku though. Next ambulance over." Shin pointed over his shoulder.
"What did the yahoo do now? Burn his finger?" Raditz and Shin both gave Vegeta a warning glare before the captain snorted and walked away.

"How in the hell do you put up with that cocky bastard Shin? I know I would have strung him up in the hose tower by now. He's practically family to me and Kakarott, but damn him some times." Raditz growled out.
"I knew his father when I was a probie. If he were anything like his father I'd want him by my side in a fire. The attitude needs some polishing, but I trust him with every decision there is."
"So that's why you took him in? Just because you trusted his father? Lord that's been ages since Chief Vegeta was killed."
"What happened across town stays there. We all know that Vegeta has cleaned up his act after that mess happened. I think it was an eye opening experience."
"Eye opening experience? He lead his search and rescue team into an unsecured building and got three men killed!" The dark haired chief snapped out as he threw his mask to his feet.
"There were people trapped inside that building. He did not know that the roof was going to cave in on them. He was doing what he learned to do, save and protect people against fire and other hazards."
"Stop defending him Shin! You were not there, I was! I wouldn't let my men go in there but he paraded himself and five others in there to play modern day heroes and got three rookies killed in a blink of an eye. Three rookies Shin. You know how hard it was for my father to go to their families and explain what happen and why it happened to them?"
"We are modern day heroes Raditz, you remember that. Ask your father Bardock, I'm sure he'll agree with me." Shin stated calmly as he cool through clenched teeth before throwing his mask on the bumper and walking away.


Three women climbed out of their old beat up pick up truck looking around at their new home so to speak. Grabbing their large black duffle bags from the bed of the truck, they made their way around the front of the station before walking in through the empty bay doors.
"Looks like they're out on a call already." The darker hair woman said looking around the interior of the older station.
"Great, we just had to get assigned to a busy station for our first time." The woman with short blue hair whined out as she dropped her duffle bag on the concrete floor in front of her.
"I'm not complaining much. My brother works here. I think I'm going to give him a run for his money." The blonde haired woman of the group announced as she dropped her duffle in the same manner as the first.

"Excuse me, can I help you ladies?" Yamcha asked coming out of the radio room with his cup of coffee in hand.
"We were assigned to this station. I'm Bulma, that's ChiChi and this is Juuhachigou."
"Oh yeah that's right, the captain did mention before he left that he was expecting three new probies this morning. Welcome aboard. I'm probie Yamcha." He extended his hand out and shook their hands.
"Umm, well the captain should be back soon so why don't you make yourselves comfortable. There is a television over there; coffee is in the kitchen right through there. Oh and beware of the stations mascot Killer, he's around here some place. I have to get back to the radio room. I'll see you later then."
"Alrighty, thanks for the warning." Bulma muttered out with a slight wave of her hand.

"Oh yeah, this is going to be so much fun." Bulma said with lack of enthusiasm in her voice as she walked to the television and flicking it on.
"Don't even start with the complaining. You are the one that wanted to follow ChiChi and myself into the academy for this."
"Would you be mad if I said I did it so I could see all the hot looking men that pose for those great calendars every year?"
"It wouldn't surprise me any." ChiChi giggled out as she sat down on top of her duffle bag.
"Hey, what is that thing a rat?" Juuhachigou asked pointing to a small scrawny looking animal that walked into the truck bay from the back room.
"Well it has a collar on so I presume it's a dog." ChiChi said squinting her eyes to see it better. Bulma got up and walked over to it. Bending down she scooped the poor thing up and looked at its collar before she burst into laughter.
"What the hell are you laughing at Blueberry?"
"Man, this is Killer!" She squeaked out between fits of giggles.
"Do they have something against Dalmatians or something? Damn that dog is ugly and is named entirely wrong." The blonde said with a snort.

"Problem with the station's mascot?" All three ladies stopped when they heard the deep rich voice behind them. Turning on their heels, they each gulped to see Captain Vegeta standing there still dressed in full turn out gear with his trademark scowl planted on his face.
"Umm, no not at all. Just commenting." ChiChi managed to stammer out. Bulma bent over and released the dog that ran up to the Captain and barking in a high-pitched tone.
"Great, all females. Damn city and their quotas." Vegeta sighed out, not impressed that he had to take on three new fire/rescue personal that were females.
"Excuse me? You have a problem with females?" Bulma asked in a raised voice.
"As a matter of fact I do. You females are always complaining about breaking nails. You can't hold a hose line worth a shit, and you have to be babysat all the damn time because you are not as strong as the men are. I just got back from a fire in which a female captain got trapped inside and couldn't get herself freed. It almost killed the lives of five other firefighters to get her ass out."
"I'll prove to you that you won't have to baby-sit me sir." Bulma snarled out, her face reddened with anger.
"Hn, we'll see. I've never met a fire Woman that could do her job right."
"Well you never met a woman quite like me before." Vegeta cocked his head to the side and studied the blue haired woman, walking around her looking her over really well.
"You're right, I've never met a woman as ugly as you are. Grab your things probies, I'll show you where you will be staying while on duty here." Vegeta walked off towards a set of stairs with the ladies not far behind.
"What an asshole." Bulma angrily whispered out.
