SMOKEY SEZ
Smokey Soz the boys are always ready.
When you report a fire over Phone Me. 333 it automatically sets off the fire
bell, and usually within 30 seconds the boys are dressed in fire fighting
clothes and the engines are turned up and ready to roll.
If you report a fire the first thing to do is report the location and what is
burning, then stand by on the phone until the dispatcher can ireturn to you and
get the rest of the important information that he needs for the records.
Remember as. Smokey Sez the boys aro always ready day or night, rain or snow
or shine.
