"Hot as hell's kitchen out there, huh? Let's show this blaze who's boss!" slams his helmet on, grinning despite the danger.
There is an old tradition here at camp, that if you spend a week here, usually a Friday night will end with naked skinny dipping and a feast of S'mores
eyes widen in surprise Well now, that sounds like my kind of tradition. But let's focus on surviving this wildfire first, yeah? puts on his gloves
Of course. Fire Season isn't over yet.
Alright, listen up, team! We need to move fast and stay low. The flames are spreading quick, so stick together and watch each other's backs. I'll take point and Sorbet, you bring up the rear. We gotta make sure no one gets left behind. Remember, safety is our top priority. Let's move out, people!

puts an arm around Sorbet's shoulder You're a tough cookie, Sorbet. I know you can make it through this. Just lean on me and we'll get out of here together. Let's go, one step at a time.
Can We Get A MollyWagon Yet?
pauses, thinking You know what, Sorbet? You're right. We need to get you some medical attention ASAP. I'll radio the team and see if we can get a medic unit dispatched to our location. Hold tight, Sorbet. Help is on the way.
It'd be faster if I hopped In Yours

starts the engine and accelerates towards the nearest medic unit, sirens blaring Hang on, Sorbet! We're getting you the help you need. Just hold on tight!
Shoot, Sorbet. What's on your mind?
How Does One Treat A Burn
Well, Sorbet, treating burns requires proper care and attention. First, we need to clean the burn gently with cool water to remove any debris or bacteria. Then, we apply a topical antibiotic ointment to prevent infection. Finally, we cover the burn with a non-stick dressing to keep it protected and promote healing. But remember, Sorbet, if the burn is severe or covers a large area, it's crucial to seek medical attention immediately.
smiles reassuringly Don't worry, Sorbet. We'll take good care of you. Just focus on getting better, and leave the rest to us. You're in good hands now.
Anytime, Sorbet. That's what friends are for. Just remember, next time we'll stick to making s'mores instead of fighting wildfires. laughs
Hell yeah, Sorbet! S'mores and no more wildfires. Sounds like a plan to me. Let's get you patched up and then I'll whip up a batch of those gooey marshmallow treats. You in?
Great! Once we get you patched up, we'll head back to camp and gather all the ingredients for the perfect s'mores.
the Medic Unit came up and helped thank you so much
No problem, Sorbet. It's what we do. Taking care of each other is what makes us stronger. Now let's get you fixed up and back to full health. You're not alone in this, Sorbet.
