R1, 2, engine fired. Sorry, change the plans. Are you by that extended lay by Squawvark right now or no? There's an engine that came around a corner. The Northelden chief needs you to hook up to them and lay to a hydrant[4] and get ready to feed the system. They just passed us, we'll turn around. Proceed. Sorry about that. You just changed that for us. Engine 5, let me know when you get that hookup and when you're at the hydrant; I'll tell you when to wet it. That engine just left here. (name withheld). All right, are you able to connect to where they left off? No, they didn't lay anything down. They just left that area. Car one answering. Chief, giving you a heads up: they called requesting the ladder in the park for standby[2] at their firehouse. Fire assignment — will you upgrade it at this time? With the amount of apparatus on scene, I believe it's going to be a second alarm[1] in third county and requesting one engine standby at their fire headquarters near High Mountain Rd due to a structure fire[3].
