Shea starts to remember what happened on 9/11 and keeps trying to remember more.

Firefighter Shea is the only firefighter that survived from his company and is worried that he was a firefighter in a picture just standing looking at the chaos, because he cant remember his memory

14 Wildland firefighters died in a fire and the next chapter is about a firefighter who was the only one from their company that survived during 9/11.

a bunch of firefighters are being overrun by a fire and most of them are going to die.

There was a group of people who banned together to kill and injure lots of SS guards and important people

The Allies made the D-Day raid in France and Germany is making its final efforts to kill as many people as they can in France

The American Red cross came to inspect a camp although the Germans knew about this and prepared themselves. Instead of revealing what their camps are really like they fed the people well, and made the camp look neat.

Germany went further into Europe and continued to kill more and more people without anyone knowing

A 15 year old girl was beaten while not giving info to the Nazis. It goes over all the concentration camps and which one were death camps and which ones were labor camps. The Holocaust killed millions of people and was a mass tragedy.

He gives more examples of scenarios and how to respond to them

Dwight gave a question, then a very good answer to the question that we can use as a example. Then he explained what to have in it and any other advice he has for us. The questions were "Tell us about yourself, Why do you want to be a firefighter. Why do you want to work for the America Town Fire Department. What is the Job of a firefighter." All these are questions to let the panel know who you are as a person.

Dwight gave us some examples for questions and how they should look in an interview setting. They were why do you want to become a firefighter? And Tell us about yourself? The second question isn't made to brag about all your certifications, but build a relationship with the panel members so they can relate to you more easily. The First one was about your history and story about wanting to be a firefighter and why.

Keep a smile on your face as you speak, even if you have an interesting story, it may seem boring for the panel. Also bring a resume, even if it is not required it is still good to bring it. Although the panel wont have much time to read and probably just skim it. Keep it simple for them so they can learn a little about yourself. Don't always ask 1 questions at the end because it might hurt you instead

Everything should have an example of each situation. For example a question that is asked, "What is a time you failed?" His response was he was training for his care/flight paramedic certification, he says he sacrificed lots of his wife's and daughters time for this.

Dwight Kilpack is a firefighter who interviews candidates who are attempting to become firefighters. He talked about how the board works and what to expect.

Rashmina and Pasoon just survrved the attack and Pasoon just started to go back to the Taliban. Brandon and Richard found more people in an elevator while a wall of blue flame covers their way to escape.

Rashmina survives almost falling to her death while an American helicopter has their guns pointed at her. Both her and Pasoon are going back home when they get into a firefight between the Taliban and the Americans. This tribe named Koncie start to pray with them, and give them some food.

Brandon and Richard try to make it higher but they are confronted with the scary truth that their path is blocked by fire and rubble. They begin their decent back down to Richard's office to wait fire the firefighters.

Brandon tries to cross a ledge but a man that he met in the eleveator named Robert stops him and now they both are booth waiting for firefighters to come up to them to save them, Robert also is trying to get as many people in one place so it is easier for the firefighters to find them.

Rashmina found Pasoon although under fire by an American helicopter, they manage to survive but after Rashmina tires to get up she falls and almost falls of a cliff. Another American helicopter is right behind her, hovering, with guns pointed at her while Pasoon is trying to save her.

Rashmina just found Pasoon in the mountains after passing some of his friends that were playing on a tank. The soviets always taught people to fight by teaching them about using guns, and about enemies of the past, even the math books taught them to fight. Rashmina also just started to run to Pasoon with his goats

Pasoon took Reshmina on a trip when they were younger to the moutains where he found a rifle and wanted to shoot at an American base down below, it was a logging camp in the heart of the mountains. After he shot once the Americans started shooting everywhere except them. Brandon just made it to the 89th floor door, as he struggled to open it,

Rashimna kept helping Taz but Pasoon just ran away, he normally goes into the hills to calm down, but when Rashmina went to find him he wasn't here and she thinks he went to join the Taliban. Rashmina is also going to try to go to the ANA base to get help for Taz. Brandon keeps climbing stairs to get to his dad although blocked by drywall, jet fuel, and tons of obstetricians. He keeps pushing to make it to his dad.

Rashmina took the soldier into her home and her family reluctantly accepted him, although her brother did not and is going to tell the Taliban. Everyone got out of the elevator and they are going downstairs although Brandon is going to find his dad.
