A third scene involves a sort of race against the clock with Taurus performing another rescue, this time away from a fire. Will the rescue be a success?

Bull Rescue #3

A more urgent situation is taking place where an accident occurred recently. On the side of the road is a silver McLaren 570S with the hazard lights on. Directly on the road is an accident where a dark gray Nissan Skyline 2000 GT-R (C10) is overturned with debris all around it. While the overturned C10 has moderate damage, the car suddenly catches fire from the undercarriage, so now it is a race against the clock to rescue whoever is inside.

"Loic, no! Paramedics are already en route! We can't– huh??" A firetruck is the first to the scene, but normally, the sirens are blaring. No sirens this time, only lights. And standing on the shoulder are two figures - a coyote and a Siberian husky. Then the doors open up with a bunch of firefighters dismounting the truck; among them is a bull.

Being the first responders to arrive on scene, Taurus and his group quickly assess and secure the scene. But because there is no fire hydrant nearby, these first responders have another means of dousing the flames. Amidst the chaos, Loic grumbles, "We're gonna be late, again! What are we gonna do now, Shep?"

The coyote beside Loic, Shep Sutherland, remarks, "We just wait and see if Miles is okay. I could barely make out what happened, myself, but all this from a blowout?" The coyote shakes his head, unable to comprehend the situation, "How can a blown tire cause this much damage?"

"Loss of traction and balance." Both Loic and Shep turn their heads to observe the bull firefighter marching to them while his colleagues in the background are dragging away a black furred wolf from the C10 Skyline. Their stony silence prompts Taurus to explain, "Your friend suffered a blowout. From those skid marks over there, it seems that your buddy skidded into the left guardrail and flipped around. That could also explain the debris around the area."

It takes a few moments for the two to process the information when they stare at the skid marks. From considering this, Shep whimpers, "Is Miles going to be okay?"

Taurus grins and laughs heartily in return, informing the pair, "Your friend is actually fine! Apart from a few lacerations, he isn't seriously injured, just shaken. If he didn't have his seat belt on, he would have been ejected from the car."

Relieved, the canine pair breathes in relief. But there is another problem. Loic points out, "One of us is going to be left stranded. How are we gonna make the show now??"

Taurus points over his shoulder to a Fire & Rescue Ford Explorer behind the firetruck and offers, "We can drop you off at your place. There's room for you guys. Plus, your friend is gonna be fine - no need to bring him to the hospital when he's uninjured."

"So, he's free to go? We're all gonna make it?" Loic questioned assuredly. Taurus nods his head, leaving the dog to relax.

Shep observes, "Since Miles is not going to the ER, he is riding with you guys, right? His car is destroyed and I have room in my car for just two people."

"Yes. As for where the fire came from…" Taurus turns back to the crash site, pointing to the now crumpled C10 Skyline, "the fire probably started from the undercarriage. I'm not a mechanic, so I don't fully know the cause."

"Well, that car is destroyed now, so Miles doesn't have a car of his own anymore." Shep presumed. The bull shakes his head and counters, "Nah, I don't think so. The car will have to go to a repair shop but it's not totaled or anything."

Hearing this information from the bull, both Loic and Shep turn their gazes towards Miles, finally spotting the black wolf climbing into the red Ford Explorer. Finally convinced, Shep resolves, "We'll have to pay you back some time. Thank you for your assistance! Oh, what is your name, by the way?"

"Taurus. And you are??" After revealing his name, Taurus inquires of the other two. Shep takes the lead in pointing out his friends while introducing himself in return, "I'm Shep; next to me is Loic, and the black wolf is Miles. Once again, we appreciate your service!"

The entire scene is clear a couple of hours later. By that time, Loic, Miles, and Shep had reached their destination, along with some volunteer assistance from the fire department, and traffic resumed flowing again. And having escaped certain death, Miles was especially grateful to the firefighters for saving his life. Another big thanks owed to first responders just carrying out their duties to the public.
