When an unexpected visitor comes

Meghans pov

once I arrive at the firehouse I go and grab my cell and my purse and walk up to the firehouse. the first people I see is the squad table, I know because of the shirts.

"hi, is there something I can help you with?" he asked.

"hi I am Meghan Natalie, would one of you be kind enough to point me to the chief's office," I ask them.

then one of the other firefighters asks "sorry but who are you?" I look at him and say

" oh right... I am the deputy fire commissioner and EMT field officer in charge." I told them.

the other 3 guys look at me with disbelief, which I understand why.

then one guy said "let me show you to the chef's office."

I smiled and we walked off but as we walked off I heard that one guy quietly say "there is no way she is. come on she is lying. I mean she's a girl." I heard it and the other guys were telling him to be quiet.

I was in shock. we walked to the chef's office and then I told the guy thank you. I knocked and then heard a 'come in'.

then he asked, "hi what can I do for you today."

I reach out my hand and shake his and then say "hi I am Meghan Natalie. I am the deputy fire commissioner and EMT field officer in charge. I am going to be here to for a little while to be teaching your firefighters new drills and I also will be here to be observing your fire companies while out on calls." I say.

"deputy fire commissioner, is there anything else I can help you with." he said to me.

"yes this is an unexpected visit I will be hanging around the firehouse and going to fire scenes with you guys then, I will be reporting back to the fire commissioner on what needs to be changed and what needs to happen. and while being here I'll be watching what they are currently taught and what needs to be learned to be up to CFDs standards. I know this is an unexpected visit chief, I have been going on for a long time going to all the fire stations around Chicago to be doing the same thing. Every chief was not aware of what is happening it was an unexpected visit to everyone." I say to him.

"if you see unexpected behavior will you be correcting it or will you just be putting it in a report." he asked me.

"what would be happening is I would like to have your permission to correct misbehavior or material that was not taught correctly in the beginning. And if I feel well observing out in the field if I notice something and it puts your firefighters in danger I will be collecting it in front of everyone. And if it's not something that I think could be life-threatening, what would happen is once we got back to the firehouse I would be pulling them aside with their lieutenant or captain and I will be making the situation-aware to both of the men or women. And then I would have to put it into my report." I say to him very professionally.

he is sitting in his chair that I am across from looking at me weird and I hoped he doesn't remember me. and then I remember this.

"oh...and also another reason that I am not wearing my bugles right now, is that I wanted to walk into here and see how your men and women treated anyone who walked into this firehouse and respected them not because of their rank that is showed on there coller." I tell him making eye contact with him.

"this will not be an issue for me at all. You have your job to do and we can work something out where you can get your reports done." he said.

then he asks "One more question for you."

"sure thing chef what is it?" I say back to him

"you said that you were EMT field officer correct?" he asks I nod then he continued "so with the EMTs will there be something like what you are doing with the firefighters." he asked.
