Except for the infatuation-inspiring rookie, who doesn't seem to mind having Cassie around. Hazing, a lack of funding, and poor facilities mean that the firemen aren't exactly thrilled to have a 'lady' on the crew-even one as competent and smart as Cassie. The tough, old-school Boston firehouse is as different from Cassie's old job as it could possibly be.

As one of the only female firefighters in her Texas firehouse, she's seen her fair share of them, and she's a total pro at other people's tragedies.
