Blaze – Creative Writing Using Symbolism You don’t choose to be a firefighter. You don’t choose to be a hero. It’s a fire that burns inside you. Like an ember lodged in your chest that never dies, no matter how hard you try to smother it... In Blaze, Chase Bowdry runs into burning buildings not because he wants to—but because he can’t imagine being anyone else. When a fire threatens to consume a warehouse and the girl trapped inside, Chase is forced to confront what drives him: legacy, survival, and something deeper. Not all fires destroy. Some reveal. 🔥 “He used to think the helmet made him who he was. But now, he knew the truth… He saw himself as a flame—not the kind that consumes. The kind that carries light.”

 “Fire doesn’t just burn. It reveals.” In a warehouse blaze, Chase Bowdry finds more than smoke and flame—he finds the truth inside himself.
