A Floor Below (FireFighting)

The alarm sounds
And i put on my gear
As i rush to the truck
I stop cause what i hear

A house fully envolved
People inside
Two of them dead
Only one is alive

We get to the scene
Im shocked and suprised
Command tells us to go in
I guess we'll just try

We enter the front
And head towards the back door
A creak and collapse
As i fall through the floor

My team trapped above
By ruble and debrie
I hope they're ok
I hope they find me

I hear a loud scream
And look to my left
I woman on fire
She takes her last breath

I reach for my radio
But it couldnt be felt
I check all my pockets
And even my belt

Stuck in the basement
Cant see through the smoke
The mayday from the truck
But my P.A.S.S device broke

This building will be the end of me
Its gonna take my life
I wish i could be home right now
In bed with my wife

I dont want to burn
Id rather die from the smoke
I take off my mask
Deep breath, and i choke

I close both my eyes
A smoked tear down my face
I leave from the building
Going to a better place

Dont worry my friends
For ill be by your side
A FireFighting poem
No fire can hide!!
