I'm promoting Andrea to Lieutenant.

The two of you will be in running for Captain.

Congratulations on your recent promotion, Herrera.

There was nobody helping me out, that's for sure.

Yeah. [CHUCKLES]

You watch the smoke billow in and out, dance around and study every puff, every wisp.

Mom and Dad said we can't have anybody over while they're gone.

You want to impress Sydney B., right?

And the rest of the Science Club?

Freezing with nitro will do that.

Trust your big sis. We'll be fine.

You have to understand how the smoke moves

if you want to contain the fire beneath it.

Because a lack of containment in our line of work... is a recipe for disaster.

Nope.

Warren, tell me why we vent the roof of structure fires.

Uh, ventilation pulls the fire up and out of the building, preventing air from fueling the fire inside.

I'm not skipping half of them on your whim.

Everybody else, take a kid.

Start resuscitating.

Warren, check the girl.

See what you can find out... dr*gs, alcohol...

This is to Dispatch, requesting additional units

WOMAN: Why is there fog in the pool?

WOMAN # : Why do these kids all look dead?

That's my brother!

That's my baby brother!

And the best way for us to help him is to find out what happened here.

Now, did you all take anything?

dr*gs or...?

Oh, God, no! Nothing like that.

We were just making ice cream.

[CHOKING]

Easy. Slow, deep breaths.

We got one back.

He's unresponsive to any stimuli.

Airway's clear. I'm bagging him now.

I'll start CPR.

- Oh, God!

- I-I need you to be specific.

Now, do you mean ice cream ice cream?

And w-what's the gas over the pool?

Is that liquid nitrogen?

W-We used it to quick-freeze the ice cream. And then we went swimming, and I poured the nitrogen in the pool.

We thought it would look cool.

It did, but one minute, everyone was fine, and... and no one was talking or moving, just floating there.

It must have displaced the oxygen over the pool, which means they're all asphyxiated.

That means everybody needs supplemental O , right now!

As much as we've got.

Make sure those seals are tight!

I pulled them out! I pulled them all out!

And that was very brave.

- Got another one!

Can you tell me your name? Where you are?

Blake, I'm here. I'm here.

I mean, how'd he know to jump in?

None of us could even see into that pool.

Nobody mentioned another kid missing.

Well, he said he counted the flip-flops.

Six pairs, only five kids.

Wow.

Yeah, he's always a couple steps ahead that way.

Rushes in like he doesn't have a plan, when the truth is, he's usually already leapt ahead of the rest of us.

Used to drive me nuts.

I like to know the steps, but now I learned to just trust it.

That's why he's ready for captain.

And I'm not?

Don't take this the wrong way, but it is a skill to do what he does, a skill that you haven't figured out yet.

Jack's been a lieutenant for years.

You've had less than two days.

You're good, Herrera, but you're still green.

I lost a husband under a captain that was green. I know the cost.

You'll get there eventually, but you're not there yet.

No problems between you and Herrera this time?

Like on the roof?

I stand behind my call up there.

But I know I could've

handled myself differently.

If my conduct up there takes me out of the running, well...

I'll respect that.

You'd be amazed by the number of lieutenants I served with who couldn't admit a mistake.

You know, when I started out, I dealt with a lot.

No women's bathrooms.

At one station, my locker was the trunk of my car.

And pranks... stupid, endless pranks.

You don't know how many times I stood in front of my captain's office ready to file complaints, or quit, but I didn't.

And when I finally made captain, do you know what those same firefighters did?

What?

They followed my orders because I'd earned their respect.

I fought my way up every rung of the ladder, and they knew it.

And I didn't have anything handed to me by my daddy.

And neither did you.

And I respect that.

Permission to speak frankly?

[SIGHS] Granted.

Andy has earned her spot here.

I mean, she should've made lead lieutenant years ago.

Y-You think Pruitt gave her a leg up?

He held her back, because it made his life easier to have his daughter around.

This place ran so smoothly on his command because of Andy Herrera.
