| - While not much is known about Leah's early life, it is revealed that she once served as a firefighter. In her line of work, Leah faced death and danger on a regular basis and often would do "crazy things to save other people's children." However, one failed mission stays with her--both mentally and physically. Leah once tried to carry a young boy out of a burning building, but the building collapsed on her and the child. The boy did not survive, and Leah suffered major burns that left her permanently scarred. Afterward, Leah got drunk and got into a motorcycle accident that worsened her burns. From that time on, she vowed to no longer engage in reckless behaviors and to do more than her best when other people's lives are at stake. When Leah joins Team One, she is first met with cold shoulders. She understands that she is replacing a valued and loved member of the team, but she ultimately earns Team One's trust by performing well on her first hot call and by giving the team armbands with Lou's name and badge number engraved on them. With the armbands, they can always carry their friends with them. In Unconditional Love, the season three premiere, Leah leaves the team to deal with a family emergency. She returns in season five, in the episode Run To Me, after Raf leaves the team. It is then revealed that she left to assist her parents after the Haiti earthquake.
