[ Curufin is standing in the bay of the pumping station on the north bank of the reservoir. The firefighters finished building and testing the the second of two tanker trucks the day before, and it is ready to be filled with its 11,000 gallons of water. You can hear the noise of the machinery in the background. The first tanker is already filled and ready to go. Outside, the firehouse and the ladder truck beside it are visible. ]
Firefighters and supporting crew, report in! We'll allocate our resources as soon as we know who's available and where we are needed.
And as we're a bit shorthanded, anybody who wants to join us, you are welcome to do so. Post in, and we'll find you a job.
If you want to report the exact location of a fire, or call for emergency help, this is the place to do it!

[If the faint orange glow and the sounds in the background are anything to go by, he's close.]
I'm at your disposal for any more specific instructions.
No problem!
What duties you take on will depend on your skills and your level of tolerance for smoke and fire. So, you choose! We want to keep some people outside the building to handle the hoses and keep pouring the water on. And there must be people to run inside the building and make sure there is no one still inside, insofar as it is possible to do so. Those people may also go up the stairways, but if you do, be careful. If we can't get to a person who is trapped on the upper floors, we will use the ladder truck, and somebody can ascend the ladder to a high window, break it, climb in, and bring out the trapped persons.
If you're doing any of that, pick up a protective suit before you start. We've got extras and will pack them along with the fire engines. We've also got extra tools -- fireman's axes to break down a door, especially.
And thanks for your help. It's greatly appreciated.
