A quote that demonstrates that action can be well written

Lenny Guerrero was Search and Rescue, Truck 48, the first truck. A broad, strong, boyishly handsome man in his mid-thirties, he was at the truck’s side near the curb, near the lawn. The light arrays from the truck and the nearby engine, Engine 39, flashed scarlet and shadow over him as he worked to get himself game ready. Strapping his air pack on, his mask on, his hood on, his helmet.

The House of Love and Death, by Andrew Klavan, p. ix

Look at the poetic use of repetition that doesn’t seem strained.
