Chicago Fire

Girls on Fire makes girls like me

feel like becoming a firefighter could really happen.

Go! Yeah, Kylie!

You are more than ready for that entrance exam.

Lacey's not accepting anything stronger than ibuprofen.

Sobriety concerns?

She's gonna need help.

You're gonna stay with me.

I can't be a burden to you.

You're not a burden to me.

You're family.

This is the place for people to safely and anonymously

drop their newborns.

They're not easy to get.

I rankled a few of the higher-ups.

We could use more Sylvie Bretts in Chicago.

How do you not see a dumpster?

Huh? They're huge!

- The dent isn't that big. - Yeah?

Tell that to the body shop.

You wanna see the estimate?

- Christopher. - Wha...

he is not taking the family car to school.

- That's that. - Fine.

I guess I'm a criminal for life.

He's gotta take some more driving lessons or something!

You need to get your temper under control.

Now, maybe we should use what we just

- went through to do better. - Mm-hmm.

Going forward, maybe be a little more kind?

I guess I could take it down a notch.

Yeah.

You know, at the chemo center,

- there was this nurse, Nina. - Yeah?

She showed me some breathing exercises

to help control anxiety and stress.

That's good.

I gotta go to work.

You find a comfortable place to sit.

Close your eyes.

Take a breath in.

And then you breathe out.

And you do that until you feel calm.

Who's got time for that?

No, just try it.

Done.

I feel better already.

Don't you sass me.

You could try it at work.

There are apps you can download that guide you through.

Meditation apps too.

All right. That's good to know.

I love you.

Gotta run.

Maybe apologize to Luke on your way out?

Not gonna happen!

What are you doing here?

Aren't you taking firefighter exams today?

Physical's at noon, written's at 2:00.

- She needs a pep talk. - No, I don't.

I don't. Really, I...

She came in early to refile things.

I'm a little nervous, yes.

But I've studied, and you've prepared me...

You are going to ace these tests, Kylie.

You are, girl.

You are going to mop the floor

with all of the other applicants.

And leave them in your dust.

No one is more prepared than you are.

Nobody.

Well, I don't know about that.

But...

Thank you.

- I'll give it my all. - Know you will.

Thanks, guys.

I'm going to, uh, finish refiling.

- Uh-huh. - Mm-hmm.

That was a great pep talk.

Just what she needed.

So how'd it go the other day?

Dylan claims the kids

were very impressed with my magic show.

I don't believe him, but he's sweet to say so.

So things are going good with him?

You said things were a little distant after Casey's visit.

Yeah, things are good.

Ugh, worst shift in years.

Don't think we slept more than, what, 20 minutes?

Ah, you guys look like

you've been through the wringer.

We can't all be as perky

as our resident blonde over here.

I am not perky.

You never look tired.

You guys, Javi just got MVP on his school basketball team.

You gotta see the pictures.

Uh, I'm gonna pass because your energy level

is scaring me, as usual.

Ambulance 61. Woman down, emergency.

Emergency? You don't hear that often.

Yeah. Let's go.

No time for a full inventory... just a quick check.

Okay.

Narcotics are here.

Great. Let's move.

You have to hurry.

There's something wrong with this baby.

Baby?

What's happening?

All right, your baby was born en caul,

which means it's still fully intact in the amniotic sac.

61 to main, we need a second ambulance to 2692 Haverford.

We have to break the sac right away to get your baby breathing.

I need the scalpel.

Oh, my God, what the hell?

- What the hell? - That's all right, honey.

That's your waters.

Hey, come on. Come on, little girl.

I need the bulb syringe now.

Brett, there's no OB kit in the jump bag.

There's no bulb syringe and no clamps.

Well, we gotta clamp the cord and... and suction her somehow.

I know. Okay, um...

Try to suction with this.

I'm gonna clamp with these.

Tie it off with this.

- Is it working? - I don't know.

Cutting.

Okay.

All right. You're doing great.

We're gonna get this little girl to Med as fast as we can.

The next ambulance is gonna take you there, too, okay?

All right.

Shallow breathing... Apgar's 4.

Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go.

You can do it, little one.

Come on, breathe for me.

Breathe for me, please.

What have we got?

Born with amniotic sac intact.

First Apgar 4, five minute Apgar 5.

Heart rate's 90. Sats are in the high 80s.

Okay, get me a warmer and crack the neonatal

resuscitation cart in Trauma 3.

- Let's go. - Copy.

You wanna wait, see how the little girl does?

No.

No, let's do the paperwork and go.

That OB kit should have been there.

It would have made the difference.

You will have 10 minutes and 20 seconds

to complete all eight events

in the Candidate Physical Ability Test.

You must wear your hard hat, work gloves,

and 50-pound weighted vest the entire time.

This thing doesn't exactly breathe, does it?

- Shh. - This is a pass/fail test.

If you are disqualified in any event,

your test will be concluded, and you will fail.

- Lawson. - Watch this.

You're up first. Step up to the hose line.

Everybody ready?

Go!

That's a DQ.

You stepped out of the marked path.

Seriously?

Estevez, you're up.

Go!

Come on.

Some of these firefighter shows are a total crock.

That guy had a beard.

How you supposed to get a seal on a mask with a beard?

Do they not care about the truth?

Tell them to call us. We'll straighten them out.

Ehh.

Gallo, how's your aunt doing?

You know, so far, things are pretty smooth.

She's healing really well with no major medication.

You know I hate to boost your ego,

but that wouldn't be the case if it wasn't for you.

This idiot from maintenance still hasn't shown up!

I... I don't know what it is that these maintenance guys

do all day, but it is not repair rigs.

Ah!

Do you guys think that I got a temper problem?

- No. You? - No, no. Not at all.

Cindy, she dressed me down real good this morning

and said that I should have come through this whole

- cancer journey a better man. - Huh?

- Oh, yeah. - Yeah, probably so.

And she even suggested that I do some breathing exercises

and all that, you know, meditation-cult kinda stuff.

Hey, don't knock it till you try it.

That stuff can do some serious good.

Yeah, there's a group I know, Holistic Life Foundation.

They're proof it can work.

They do a lot of amazing work in the public schools.

One school in Baltimore had 100 suspensions per year.

Then, after running their Mindful Moment program
