Super Hero Firefighter...Captain...Anthony Penn...Pulls Little Girl Out...Of Burning Building! ...His Reward?…A Really Big Smile...A Squeezy Hug... And A...Heartfelt..."Thank You!"...Part 2.

 "There We Go!...Don't Worry!...

...I got You!"...

“On the Red Carpet, 

there are the Lovers and 

the Haters 

and…  

…I just Love it!”

"Hey!...What's the Rush?...

...It's Paradise!"

 

“My!...Life…and…Infrastructure…  

…Must go On!”

 

 

 

You and Your ‘many ladies say that Firemen ‘Bring the Heat’ and 'Melt

 their Hearts’ 

Smiles 

are

glad that 

They are around!

 

This 

'Outta my Way'

Episode 

is 

brought to you by those ‘Big, Bad, and Loud’ 

Fire Trucks!

\

It is a Beautiful Morning

and there is 

nothing much happening, 

as far as car fires, 

auto accidents, 

and fires go, 

on the streets and freeways 

of this huge 

L.A. metropolis.

Yes, 

it is a slow day…

...just the way we like 

to see it in this 

big city of Millions!

But 

Fire Captain Anthony Penn has 

an uneasy feeling, 

because it seems to be 

...too quiet.

However, 

since the Emergency Lights and 

911 Systems weren’t activated, 

Captain Penn thought, 

“Well, I guess I’ll just count 

my Lucky Stars!”

So now,

he tells the guys at the 

 

Station House 

that 

he was going to 

drive around the neighborhood 

only to 'check things out.'

Captains are high enough in rank, 

so they can do 

stuff like that. 

Sweet!

He has always had a penchant 

for doing these 'preventive runs,'

because 

he would sometimes find, 

on very cold nights, 

an abandoned trash can containing fire 

which temporarily keeps people warm, 

or he might come across, 

by chance, elderly people 

having difficulty crossing wide 

and busy streets. 

...There’s always something!...

So, he has helped many people, 

and not all of it 

has been CPR!

This day, he is driving 

slowly around his old school, 

Washington High School, 

where he was voted the 

'The Coolest and Most Enthusiastic' 

member of his 

Graduating Class!

He turns the corner onto 

Denker Avenue 

and 

slowly creeps along, 

daydreaming about all of the fun 

he had at the school, 

and how he wished 

those care-free,

 summery days would 

never end. 

The Young Captain Penn 

then remembers 

when, 

as a kid, 

he would go to the Fire Station 

around the corner 

from his house, and 

the Fire People gave him a 

Protective Outfit 

and let him shoot

 the water, which basically 

‘hooked’ him 

as a Fire professional!...

And he enjoyed 

hanging out with them 

as a 

teenager…  

And he always thought 

that 

Fire Poles 

were more sensible 

than the 

‘Slide Route!’… 

But,

 

he was,

and still is,

fascinated with the 

Physics and Chemistry 

of the Combustion Process!  

However, 

he also Loves Water 

because it can

 ‘Tame’ fire, 

...even if it 

takes a while…

And he was always a 

Good Student at Washington, 

maybe because he could see deeper than 

what is viewable 

on the surface! 

And 

he also liked the way 

that the Fire Fighters always have

 

‘Crazy 

Times’

 together!

So,

now he pulls along the curb 

and parks the car, 

but doesn’t get out.

Something inside of him tells him 

to 

wait right there.

And wouldn’t you know it, 

the man who answers 

all people and property emergencies, 

just happens to be in the right place, 

at the right time…

...again!

Because a big explosion 

rocks the corner house 

across the street!

The windows are blown out 

from several houses nearby, 

because the blast is so huge.

Captain Penn, 

hurriedly exits his car, 

dons his fire suit (which never leaves his side), 

along with his oxygen source, 

and he radios in 

for a quick response 

to what is something terrible 

in the making.

“Dang! This is a gas explosion!” 

Penn analyzes on the run.

The exploded building is now half

 in flames!...

…And there are some adults 

staggering out of the 

front of the house!…

…He helps them 

across the street, 

and seats them on a grassy lawn…

One of the adults 

comes out of a daze 

and shouts, 

“Where’s my baby! My baby, Myka!  She’s still in there!...

...Oh, please!...

...save My Baby!

…The 'eager-to-claim-life' 

fire casts 

evil dancing ghosts of light 

across the buildings 

in the neighborhood…

The Captain now

sees a little girl 

stick her head out of a window on

the side of the house. 

She shouts, “Momee! Momee!  Come get me!

So, 

Penn, 

who has decathlete skills, 

makes a beeline 

to the house and 

enters where 

the front door used to be.

Without hesitation, he

 sees the stairway, 

which is gaining in fire, and he

sprints to the second floor, 

but, he is pushed 

back by the roaring-by-now 

heat and flames…

…And the shouting little girl 

is starting to get weaker 

in her voice’s plea for help…

“Myka! Myka! I’m coming for you! 

Don’t breathe the smoke!” warns Captain Penn.

The Captain, 

spilling over with adrenaline, 

fights through heavy flames 

down the long hallway…

...and...

kicks down the door 

with one Large Authoritative Stomp…

The flames roar up behind him, 

because now 

there’s more oxygen for them 

to destructively feed on…

His fire-retardant suit saves him again…

but the girl 

is not in the room!...

“Myka! Myka! Where are you!” he shouts…

“She was in a corner window, 

but, dang, where is she now?” 

almost cries Captain Penn.

He hears a scream that’s getting faint…

“She must have moved 

to the next room,” 

he thinks.

So Penn picks up 

a bedspread and tosses it at the flames

to break the fire a little, 

so he can exit this room 

and check the next room…

But, in the process, something 

protruding out of a wall, 

cuts cleanly through his protective suit 

and sticks at his leg, 

so now, 

he’s limping to get 

to the next room where Myka most likely is…

…he tries to kick the door down, 

but can’t muster the strength…

…then he tries to bang his body into the door twice…

…but no go!...

Then, 

he thinks back in time 

to the first person he saved—when he first started as a rookie fireman—

it was an elderly lady suffering 

smoke inhalation…

With a new and 

dedicated fervor, 

he backs up a couple of steps, 

flexes with focus, and shouts 

a loud “Grrrr Yaa!,” 

which helps to bring out 

enough hurled-body force 

against the door, 

so it flings open quickly...

just like in the movies!...

But, Captain Anthony Penn 

doesn’t expect what he sees next…

 ...

“Hey, you all…let’s get out of here,” 

shouts Captain Penn, 

as he picks up Myka 

and 

her two Yorkies!

 

Now he runs fast down the hall, 

with them

in his arms

hurdling over obstacles 

here and there 

with ease, 

and he finally 

gets downstairs and outside, 

then he makes it over across the street!...Hip Hip Hooray!  

At that Time...another firefighter says, 

“Hey, Captain Penn, we got it from here!”

 

And a whole bunch of people show up to 

finish the Job!

 

So now that all of the Family Members 

are accounted for, everyone’s relieved! 

...Especially Myka

and her

Two Yorkies!

But right then, Captain Anthony Penn 

receives a radio call to get 

somewhere else, pronto!   

And he immediate Smiles and says, 

“Say, Y’all…I’m glad 

I could Help!” 

Then, 

he swiftly moves on…

 

Then, the Auntie of Myka, 

shares her Big Idea, 

“For that 

Handsome 

Fire Fighter, 

there, I’m going to

Mix Up a Huge Chocolate Cake 

and

take it

to the Station!

Love Toothbrush®                                      

 

“When I saw the Fire in her Eyes, I knew that I 

had to leave!”

 

There’s something Mysteriously Attractive and Painfully Fatal about the 

Phenomenon of Fire!

That's right!...Don't put

your hand too close!

...But is HSR listening?...

Anyway...

 

HSR, 

WHO IS STARTING HIS 

SUMMER VACATION, 

WHILE AT USC DENTAL 

SCHOOL , 

IS ON HS WAY TO 

A HUGE LAKE IN THE MIDWEST 

TO GO FISHING 

AND 

BASICALLY ENJOY NATURE, 

AND ON THE WAY, 

HE PASSES SOME NICE MOUNTAINS AND 

TREE AREAS. 

AND ALONG THE WAY, 

HE STOPS 

FOR SOME GAS AND A BITE TO EAT, AND 

THE WAITRESS 

AT THE DINER 

ASKS HIM, “HEY YOUNG MAN, 

HEADED SOMEWHERE SPECIAL?” 

NOW, HSR SMILES AND SAYS, 

“HELLO THERE!...

...YEAH, I’M GOING TO THE BIG LAKE 

UP NORTH!”   

“THAT’S A PRETTY PLACE UP THERE, 

WHICH WILL MAKE YOU 

WANT TO 

COME BACK SOON,” SHE TESTIFIES… 

SO THEY TALK A LITTLE MORE, 

THEN, 

HE GETS BACK ON THE ROAD, 

HOWEVER, 

IN THE NEXT SMALL TOWN 

HE PASSES, 

HE 

STARTS TO HAVE CAR PROBLEMS! 

FORTUNATELY, THERE’S A GAS STATION 

THERE, 

SO HE DRIVES THERE 

AND THE MECHANIC SAYS 

THAT IT’LL BE SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS 

TO GET HIM GOING AGAIN, 

AND HSR THINKS, 

“THAT’S SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS 

THAT I COULDA SPENT SOMEWHERE ELSE!" 

SO HE WALKS 

AROUND 

IN THE SMALL TOWN 

AND A HOUSE 

AT THE END OF ONE BLOCK 

HAS A 

SIGN IN FRONT 

THAT READS, 

“HELP WANTED TO CLEAN OUT THE BASEMENT…$500 OFFERED!” 

WHICH MAKES HSR OPEN HIS EYES MORE...

AND HE WALKS UP TO THE HOUSE 

AND KNOCKS ON THE DOOR 

AND ASKS ABOUT THE JOB 

AND HE’S JUST SUPPOSED TO 

TAKE THE STUFF 

OUT OF THE HUGE BASEMENT 

AND SET IT BEHIND 

THE HOUSE IN THE YARD…

”WHEN CAN I GET STARTED,” 

HE ASKS THE LADY, 

AND SHE SAYS, 

"THERE’S PLENTY OF DAYLIGHT…YOU CAN START NOW, IF YOU LIKE!”

“I’LL TAKE YOU UP ON THE OFFER AND 

START RIGHT NOW!...THANK YOU!”  

“AND THANK YOU, SONNY,” 

SAYS THE LADY AS SHE GOES BACK INTO THE HOUSE…  

NOW HSR GOES 

TO THE HUGE 

BASEMENT DOORS, 

WHICH ARE MORE LIKE 

TORNADO SHELTER DOORS, 

BECAUSE THEY ARE 

REAL HEAVY, 

AND HE HAS TO

LIFT THEM OPEN!... 

NOW,

HE

NEGOTIATES THE

LONG STAIRWAY,

AND 

ONCE INSIDE THE DARK AND SLIGHTLY DANKY PLACE, 

HE SEARCHES FOR 

A LIGHT SWITCH TO TURN ON, 

AND YES, THERE IT IS, AND

WHEN HE TURNS IT ON, 

IT’S HARD TO SEE 

ALL THE WAY TO THE BACK… 

 

BUT 

HE SEES THE BOXES 

AND STARTS TAKING THEM

 OUTSIDE, 

AND 

THERE ARE MORE THAN 

400 OF THEM…WITH MANY OF THEM HEAVY!...

...WOW!... 

SO HE FINALLY FINISHES, 

AND AS HE IS ABOUT TO 

GO UPSTAIRS AND LEAVE, 

HE HEARS A VOICE SAY, “CAN SOMEONE PLEASE COME…I’M SO ALONE!”  TWO TIMES....

NOW HSR GOES TO 

A DOOR ON THE SIDE, 

WHICH HE DIDN’T NOTICE BEFORE 

AND 

HE OPENS IT, BUT IT LEADS 

TO MORE HALLWAYS AND DOORS...

SO 

HE GOES BACK TO THE 

MAIN BASEMENT ROOM 

AND SEES ANOTHER DOOR, 

BUT WHEN HE OPENS IT, 

IT’S EMPTY!..

 

NOW...

AS HE STARTS HIS WALK 

TO THE STAIRS, 

HE THINKS THAT HE DOESN’T WANT 

TO SEE ANY OF THIS 

SCARY STUFF!…  

AND NOW HE’S THINKING, 

“THE PERSON TALKING 

IS NOT DESPERATELY PLEADING 

FOR HELP, 

AND THERE ARE MANY UNKNOWNS AND…

...I’M TIRED!” 

SO, HSR TURNS TO 

GO BACK UPSTAIRS...

…BUT… OMGOSH…

HE HEARS A NOISE OFF TO THE 

SIDE!

 

 

May you have many...

...Smiles!

Meanwhile...Back In Tooth Fairy Land!...

“I Love this New…  

…Digital Makeup!”

Dental Hygiene Wars!

“Hi there!...Look at me…  

…while the others Sneak in Back!”

“I Wonder if this city

is ready for a 

…’Battle-hardened’ Hygienist!”

“Oh Crap!...  

…You caught Me!”

“Bacteria are raining from the sky!...  

…Oh no!”
