eleanor or 'Ellie' hargreeves was a firefighter with the 118 and a damn good one at that. but she wasn't always the person to run into a burning building and save someone no matter the cost. no, she used to be the person on the other side of the phone wishing she could hear what happened and if the person was okay or not. she used to be a 911 operator with the city of los angeles. one night after ellie had quite a long shift, she was walking to her car when all of the sudden she was jumped by several guys outside of the building. she couldn't really remember how it happened but she always had a nightmare about a guy with blonde hair, blue eyes and a british accent along with a tattoo of a shooting star on his wrist. when she was lying there on the ground waiting for the paramedics and the firefighters to arrive, she started thinking about all the people who could have wanted her dead and she thought someone may have had a grudge against her because of her job. luckily, the 118 was to the the scene fairly quickly after a call was placed by abby, a fellow operator. they were able to save her and she was recovering in the hospital when she decided that she no longer wanted to sit behind a desk and help people but that she wanted to be out in the field helping the people that need help the most. so, once she was fully cleared by a doctor, she went to sign up for the academy and 7 months to the day she got out of the hospital, she was a probationary firefighter with the los angeles fire department. she had been assigned to the 118, captained by bobby nash. she had made quick friends with the firefighters there, mainly chimney, hen and bobby himself. she also found a friend in sergeant athena grant, a police officer for the los angeles police department. then about three months after she had gotten to the 118, a new firefighter had arrived by the name of evan buckley. something about him intrigued her and she really wanted to find out what it was.
