[A familiar sight greets anyone who has been in Hadriel long enough: Henry and Maketh stood together, serious and focused. Henry, as usual, wears his full plate armour and mail, and stands as one would expect of a knight ready for battle. Maketh is dressed in her regular uniform, a sword at her side and rifle stapped to her back.

Henry's sharp, unyielding voice demands attention; his whole demeanour is resolute as he speaks.]

Guardsmen! We are assisting the Fire Brigade as of now. Those who are able to directly fight the blaze must speak to Curufin anon, and bolster their force. Those who cannot without great risk to themselves are charged with evacuation and holding a perimeter. Report in!

[Maketh nods firmly.]

We ask that those with medical training report to the Clinic to assist with any injuries, and that the rest of you exercise caution. Be calm, be thoughtful, and we will endure this.

[After Maketh has spoken, Henry then addresses the wider public.]

If you are trapped or suspect someone else is, let us know without delay. What is the Clinic doing?

[His final words are a request for sense, firmly stressed.]

By working together, we may field the most efficient response we can. I urge those who do not number amongst us yet intend to fight this blaze to act with us, rather than alone, and those without the skill or training to remain safe to stay back and help in other ways. Be not foolish.

[this is fine this is fine this is fine]

Are you okay?

[This is not really fine at all.]

[Private]

[mismanagement]

I'm fine. Where are you, Rey?

[glacius]

[One might expect and ice alien to be balking at the onset of such a blaze, and yet here Glacius is, ready to commit himself to the cause. While the flames are certainly enough to put him on edge, it's nothing new; he fought a flaming convict who commanded fire in a slew of dangerous ways before. This is much less aggressive and directly hostile... he can deal with it.] Fighting the fire directly may be risky, but I will do what I must if faced with the necessity. In the meantime, I will try to aid in evacuation.

I also happen to be en route to the clinic, and can update you when I know more. [One of his best friends runs the place and practically lives there. You can bet it's going to be the first place he assesses and defends.]

[hotspurred]

[Henry nods.]

All right. There are ways to shield you, should the former become necessary.

[The corners of his mouth twitch.]

Tell Kate to get in contact.

[mismanagement]

Understood. Don't risk yourself needlessly. We need you.

[synthedick]

Nick Valentine, reporting. I'm heading there now to help evacuate anyone caught in the area.

[You know, since he doesn't need to breathe or anything. He'll be okay.]

[hotspurred]

All right.

Glacius is headed for the Clinic. Inform us of where you begin your search.

[Video]

[mismanagement]

Understood. Alert me if you need aid.

[ Flames roar behind Drake, who seems to be moving parallel to them. He's not in protective gear yet, but on his way to get it. ]

I'm on the frontline, trying to find Curufin. This is already too broad for the brigade's two trucks.

[video]

[so_dark_a_road]

That's for sure!

We've got three trucks now, two water tankers and one ladder truck. We'll be bringing them all up. Where are you exactly, Drake? [ Not that the fire is hard to find at this point! ]

[hotspurred]

Noted.

[Henry grimaces, then speaks again.]

I must confess that I know little of these... trucks. How many would you deem sufficient for the task?

[It's a much less glaring way to ask just how under strength they are, mechanically speaking.]

[so_dark_a_road]

Curufin, reporting! The firefighters are mobilizing and will be in action within minutes. Stay tuned for a separate net communication from the Brigade. The Guard will also hear it on their app, but I will make it public as well.

[ A few seconds go by while Curufin makes the Brigade post to the net. ]

Firefighters and anyone who needs an immediate response from the Brigade -- for example, if your house is on fire! -- should respond to this post.

[mismanagement]

Good. We will work with you to contain the situation.

[voice]

[hot_mes]

[Just a quick message]

I can't speak for the rest of the clinic, but I'm already there. Ready to triage any patients you send our way.

[Video]

[mismanagement]

Understood. Let us know if you require further aid from the Guard.

[Audio]

[whistlewhilstyouwork]

What started all of this?

[Audio]

[mismanagement]

That is unclear. We will work to determine a cause once everyone is safe and accounted for.

[A pause.]

Are you safe, Whistler?

[toiletseat_girl]

I'm at the clinic. I only know basic first aid, though.

[hotspurred]

Every effort helps; disparage yourself not.

[He pauses, then adds:]

If you are uncertain how best to make yourself useful, talk to Kate.

Fire poses little danger to a Servant. I may be able to redirect small blazes with the wind from my sword, but I would be better utilized searching buildings for anyone trapped within.

[ In fact, she's already on the move in full armour to do just that, unless she gets told otherwise. ]

[hotspurred]

Hm.

[That's useful to know. Henry nods once.]

Then do so. The Brigade shall handle dousing the flames. Godspeed, Sir Saber.

Voice.

[citytraveler]

[ Kyrii typically doesn't spend time on the network. But with the whole wildfire thing happening, he figured he'd check things out. ]

Need to know who is trapped. I will get them.

[ Not a man of many words. ]

[hotspurred]

All right. We shall keep in contact.

[dragonsgrasp]

Reporting in.

[He's glad they've already started organizing to handle this, because otherwise, it's going to get out of control fast. He for one is more than ready to get out and deal with this.]

Where do you most need aid? I can jump and take care of fires from above wherever it's needed... or jump to high places to rescue others from buildings.

[hotspurred]

[Henry nods, then cocks his head.]

Assist Curufin and the Brigade in fighting the flames. As I understand, they have less engines than this fire needs. We have a number of guardsmen already tasked with rescue.
