Dialogue 1
“Hello. Fire Department.”
“I want to report a fire.”
“OK. Where is the fire?”
“On Bridge Street. Behind the town hall.”
“Is it a house fire?’
“No, I don’t think so. I see a lot of smoke and I think it’s coming from the park.”
“OK. Is everyone safe?”
“Yes.”
“Right. Wildfires can be pretty dangerous. So just make sure that everyone stays away from the smoke and flames. The firefighters are on their way.”
“Thank you.”
“Can we contact you at this number?”
“Yes, you can.”
“OK.”
