Battalion 3, Battalion 1. Go for 1. Chief, you can just send 6th Engine back. Their tank water should be enough. 27's using their tank water. We have most of their hotspots knocked down. If you need more water, then they can relay back out to a hydrant on Doremus and fill up. Received. Battalion 1 to Engine 6, make their way in.

Tank water for three engines or two engines should suffice. 10-4, no fight.
