The paramedics moved away from the broken body as the first jolt from the defibrillator discharged into the body causing muscles to react to the electrical charge. The machine recharged and they tried again to revive the body. Still no reaction. They tried one last attempt - a weak pulse was present in the body. Over the next few minutes, various drips and injections were made before the body was moved into a waiting ambulance. Ashen faced, the Fire Station Commander spoke to the paramedics as they began closing the rear ambulance doors.

"Do you think he'll make it?"

As they shut the doors, one of the paramedics spoke.

"What a bunch of stupid twats, eh? If you're gonna play with fire then, you'll get burnt one day. Looks like someone got burnt."
