“The buildings smoldered as people poured from them in a terrified rout. Only two fire trucks were on the north side of the hospital, and the water they pumped came in an inadequate stream.
Harry pulled the van alongside the nearest fire truck and rushed out, his emergency kit under his arm. “Who’s in charge here?” he shouted at the first fireman he saw.
