Cassie could see the smoke on the horizon from the training fire as she and Elise approached in Thunderbird 1. Looks like the devices worked as planned, Cassie thought as she kept her eye on the scene in front of her.

Despite knowing the fire had been set deliberately, Cassie could feel her heart beat faster just like any other time she had been called upon to do her job. It was going to feel strange not being an active part of fighting this fire but her role was as an instructor this time.

I finally know how all the instructors at the fire academy felt.

"Base from Thunderbird 1," Elise said beside Cassie.

"Base here. Go ahead Thunderbird 1," came Jeff's reply.

"I've got the island in sight and can see smoke from here. I will be doing a fly over within two minutes."

"FAB, Thunderbird 1. Thunderbird 2 will be launching momentarily."

"FAB."

It wasn't long before Thunderbird 1 was flying over the island, both occupants taken in the situation.

Meanwhile, Elise was trying to decide where to set up Mobile Command, and the best course of action to take in fighting the fire.

Cassie said to be aware of the terrain and to look for natural fire breaks, Elise thought, as she remembered what had been taught the day before. That rock face would serve as a barrier the fire. That side of the fire zone should be of lowest priority. That leaves three other sides to concentrate on. The wind direction will determine where we should concentrate our efforts. As for setting up Mobile Command, the only place to land is going to be the beach.

"Thunderbird Two from Thunderbird One."

"Thunderbird Two. I copy you, Frankie," came Virgil's reply over the radio. "What's the situation?"

"The fire is located on the west side of the island. The east perimeter of the fire is about thirty kilometers from a rock face. The western perimeter is about 20 kilometers inland. We can land both Thunderbirds on the beach on the western side of the island. I'm sending you the coordinates. I'm going to land and set up Mobile Control and get weather information from Alan. I'll have further instructions for you when you get here."

"FAB, Frankie. See you in the danger zone."

"Einstein from Thunderbird One," Elise radioed to Brains as she banked Thunderbird 1 to head back to the landing site she had picked out. She needed to relay to the scientist the coordinates of where she planned on setting up.

"Einstein here, go ahead Thunderbird One."

"I've picked out a location to direct operations from. Sending you the coordinates now."

"FAB," Brains replied. "I'll meet you there. Einstein out."

Setting the blue craft down softly on the beach, she shut down the engines. The two women went about getting the equipment they needed, and disembarking from the craft. It wasn't long before Mobile Command was set up.

"Thunderbird 5 from Mobile Control."

"Thunderbird 5, here. Go ahead, Frankie," came Alan's reply from the space station.

"Indy, I need wind speed and direction for the area," Elise told him, as she glanced off to her left to see Brains approaching their position on a hoverbike.

"F.A.B.," Alan replied. There was a brief pause as Alan retrieved the requested information. "I'm sending it to you now."

Elise watched the computer screen as the information was downloaded to Mobile Control. With the information gathered from her fly over and the weather information, Elise started to make plans on how to tackle the fire.[/size]
