I’m standing in the third row of folding chairs in my dress uniform with my cap on straight and my shoes shined so hard they reflect the overhead fluorescents, and I can hear him from here. Not loud. My dad doesn’t do loud. Just this thick, wet inhale from somewhere in the fifth row of the family section that I’d know anywhere because I’ve heard it exactly twice in my life: once when Grandma Eloise died and once when I got into the academy. Three times now. Mom has her phone up. She’s been recording since I walked in. She’ll watch it back tonight on the couch with a glass of wine and narrate the whole thing to my dad like he wasn’t sitting right next to her, and he’ll let her because that’s how they work. Twenty-six years of marriage and he still listens to her describe things he saw with his own eyes. The auditorium is packed. Thirty-six recruits in dress blues, families crammed into every available seat, a few officers from the department standing along the back wall. The air smells like floor polish and somebody’s perfume and polyester sweat and bad ventilation. Chief Garrison is at the podium going through the speech he gives every graduating class, the one about duty and honor and the communities we’re about to serve, and I should be listening because this is the biggest moment of my life, but my brain is doing the thing where it skips ahead. Station 11. I’ve been thinking about it since they told us assignments would be announced at graduation. Since before that, honestly. Since I was nine years old and a fire engine with an eleven on the side rolled past my elementary school while I was sitting on the playground wall eating a granola bar, and I watched it disappear down Haverford and thought that’s what I want. Not firefighting. I figured that part out later, in high school, when I started volunteering with the junior program and realized I liked the heat and the gear and how your whole body locks in when there’s a job to do. But the wanting came before the understanding. It started with a red engine and a number and the sound of a siren fading into the neighborhood I’d lived in my entire life. Station 11 is eight blocks from my parents’ house. I grew up with those sirens. They’re part of the sound my neighborhood makes at night, the same as Mr. Franklin’s dog barking at squirrels and the bus brakes on the Haverford line and the ice cream truck that comes through in summer playing a song that’s slightly off-key. When I was little I’d count the sirens from my bed and try to guess where they were going. House fire or medical call. Close or far. Coming or going. I know the crew by reputation. Captain Donnelly runs the tightest, most respected station in the department. Her whole cre
