==[[Mandy Smith]]==
* '''[[Elizabeth Smith]]''' [age 54]: Mandy's mother.  Currently living in a house in Staten Island that she bought with her husband's life insurance money.  Though her children have all left the nest, she still has a nearby extended family to keep her busy. 
* '''NYFD LADDER 42''': The Smith family's traditional place of employment.  Located in the Bronx and founded in 1913.
** [[Matthew Smith]]: [age 56]Mandy's father.  He was Captain of the company and a good leader.  '''DECEASED''':  He died of cardiac arrest after learning that he had lost two of his four children on 9/11.  
** [[Nathan Smith]]: [age 37]:  Mandy's eldest brother.  Ladder 42's Fire Sergeant, he served as the on-site team leader.  '''DECEASED''':  He died at the World Trade Center on 9/11.  
** [[Gabe Smith]] [age 34]: Mandy's next-oldest brother.  After Nathan died, Gabe took his place on-site team leader.  He was recently promoted to Lieutenent.

** [[Ralph MacNamara]] [age ?]: Captain of Ladder 47.  A robust, drunken sot who cares way to much about his men.  He didn't like having Mandy (a girl!) in his company at first and gave her plenty of shit.  She proved herself a valuable member of the team when she saved Mikky's life on one run. 
** [[Owen Meeny]] [age ?]: Driver of the Ladder.  A practical joker who can't let anyone get away with anything.  Hated Mandy at first, but warmed up to her after a while.  
** [[Julio Manendez]] [age ?]: Break Man.  A serious Latino with an "I'm too sexy" attitude.  He is the company casanova and secretly resents Mandy not being "with" him; she doesn't do Firefighters, especially in her company.  He doesn't like to be rejected.  He did not cheer when she disappeared, but he didn't shed a tear, either.  
** [[Toddy Williams]] [age ?]: Rear Driver of the Ladder.  A young hotshot rookie who just graduated from Fire Acadamy.  Can cook like an SOB and everyone loves him for it.  He's good at the wheel, but has problems following orders on the ground.  Has 3 commendations and 6 complaints; he's never going to be anything but a driver, but thanks to the union, he'll always have a job.  
** [[Vincent Havers]] [age ?]: Hose Man.  He's as serious as a 3 alarm fire.  Cool under pressure and willing to fight the flames with his trusty hose, this man is going places... ON FIRE!  Off duty he drinks like a fish to hide the pain of his job and his dark obsession with people he can't save makes the rest of the company leave him alone.
