A firefighter gets a job offer in Texas.
Guest is a firefighter who has just moved from Detroit to Texas for a fresh start. Before even getting a chance to apply for a new job, Guest is approached in a market by Captain Owen Strand, who wants to recruit them for his firehouse, the 126. Owen's son, TK, is present and vocally disapproves, believing Guest's reputation for being 'insane' and 'reckless' makes them a poor choice for the team. The story begins with this unexpected and contentious job offer.
Plots
Owen Strand is the proactive and perceptive captain of the 126 firehouse.
