Emergency! (1972–1979): Season 3, Episode 15 - Inferno - full transcript

What's with the list?

I'm just making sure
I got everything.

You got everything? Does
that mean what I think it means?

This one's called Eggs Rasputin.

Eggs Rasputin? Eggs Lupin.

Oh.

Well, where did you dig
this one up?

Joanne's sister gave it to me.

But can she be trusted?

Well, you don't have to eat it.

You know, the trouble with you
guys is you just won't try anything new.



Well, I'll tell you what's
good with eggs is chili.

Chili and eggs are good!

Chili in the morning
will rot your guts, Marco.

Listen, I've had it all my life

and nothing has happened to me.

That's what you think. Hey.

What makes this so good?

Sage.

Sage? Mmmmmm.

What do you think took us so long? We were
out in the desert picking up tumbleweed.

(ALARM SOUNDING)

DISPATCHER ON RADIO: Station
51, Engine 98, Engine 236,

Engine 214, Engine 64,
Engine 70.

Respond on a second alarm
in 56's area.



Brush fire in Harvest Hills.

Smithson Road between
Hayward and Pine Crossing.

Smithson Road between
Hayward and Pine Crossing.

Grid 65A4. Time out, 0923.

STANLEY: Station 51, 10-4.
KMG 365.

(HORNS BLARING)

Harvest Hills, isn't that where
all those expensive homes are?

Yeah.

And with these
wind conditions...

DISPATCHER: Squad 51, cancel.

Squad 43 is covering
the Harvest Hills fire.

All righty.
Now, can you read this?

Is this a half tablespoon
or half teaspoon salt?

Half tablespoon
or a half teaspoon?

It's teaspoon. All righty.

Yeah, it's a teaspoon.
Okay, thank you.

Do you want to get
the salt for me?

Maybe it's on the tube. What?

The fire. Maybe it's being
covered on television.

Yeah, why don't you
go take a look?

You want to get the salt for
me up there? Okay, no problem.

It's right up there, I think.

NEWSCASTER: What started
as a small fire...

They're all in here.

You getting anything? Yeah.

First shot, too. Look at this.

And we've got what fire officials
say could be a major disaster.

These aerial views will give you an
idea of the area already consumed.

Not only are firefighters attacking
the flaming hillsides from the ground,

but Los Angeles County Fire Department
helicopters are striking from the air.

Man.

Roy. Yeah, I hear.

Look at that.

Man, look at that.
All the way up there, look.

Man, those winds are really hitting it,
huh? Man, they really are.

Families have been watering down their
roofs in an effort to ward off the blaze

but it does little or no good.

The direction of fire has now changed
and is spreading up canyons on the west.

More units are expected
to be called up shortly.

JOHNNY: That could be us.

(ALARM SOUNDING)

That's it! That's it!

DISPATCHER: Woman caught in
machine. Rampart General Hospital.

Rampart General Hospital.
Time out, 0953.

That's not us. Well,
let's have a look at it anyway.

WOMAN ON PA: Can I
have a doctor in Treatment 1?

Send a doctor, Treatment 2.

Send a doctor, Treatment 2.

Well... Not one word.

Not one.

Got a dime, Roy? Will you
just get me out of this thing?

Man, things must be really bad.

Why didn't you just ask
for a raise in pay?

Listen, will you stop with the
jokes and just do your job, okay?

Anybody call a vending
machine company?

Yeah, I did. Nobody home.

They must all be out
rescuing idiots like me.

You have any jewelry on? Yeah.

A turquoise ring about
the size of your knuckle.

I think that's what
the problem is.

Did you try changing
the angle of your hand?

Yeah. Yeah,
I tried, but nothing.

If I ask you a question,
will you bite my head off? Probably.

Oh, okay.

I was trying to get the cup out.

Ah!

Well, we'll use
a little petroleum jelly.

Now, why didn't I think of that?

Well, that's because
you were panicked.

Roy, nurses do not panic.

They do when they get their
hands stuck in vending machines.

Well, listen, folks,
I got my rounds to do.

So if you're okay, Dix,
I'm going to get underway.

Yeah, thanks a lot, Mike,
for staying with me.

Well, somebody had to
back up your story.

See you later, Mike. All right.

Just as long as you get me out of this
before Joe Early makes his coffee round.

Hi, Dr. Early, how are you? JOE: Guys,
what's happening?

As if called.

Good morning. How
do you like my bracelet?

It's a little gaudy.

Mind if I have a cup of
coffee? Don't you dare.

Okay, now try it.

ROY: Just move it around
a little bit.

DIXIE: Okay. Wait a minute.
I think it's loosening up.

Got it? Uh-huh, it's coming out.

There. There we are.

Even got my ring back.

Now, I can have my cup of coffee.
Excuse me. Yeah, well, good luck.

Okay.

JOE: That's called "a touch."

(EXCLAIMS)

WOMAN ON PA: Dr, Early,
Dr. Early wanted in Pathology.

Well, that makes me feel
a little bit better.

Hey, how come you guys
aren't at the fire?

Oh, the fire.

Wrong question?
Oh, no, not really.

I mean,
somebody's got to cover this area, right?

Yeah, in case somebody gets their
hand caught in the vending machine.

Or her foot in her mouth.

NEWSREADER:
Radioing instructions

to the operations base or
to fire units on the ground.

Much valuable watershed
has been lost.

JOHNNY: Morning, Doc. Morning.

Anybody seen Dr. Early?
He was called to Pathology.

Thanks. Hey, how are they
doing with that fire?

Ah, it's still out of control.

I thought you guys
would be there.

No, they're saving us
for bigger things.

Think you'll move up? JOHNNY:
Don't know. It's hard to tell.

I think 44 is there.
Don't know who else, though.

Maybe 24 is.

WOMAN ON PA: Dr. Brackett,
Dr. Brackett, the ambulance is here.

Let's go, Dix.

Hey, thanks. See you guys later.

See you later.

Well, maybe we ought
to check the supplies.

Hmm? Yeah. We're
running low on syringes.

Yeah, I know.

It's a carefully worked-out procedure,
coordinated, and efficient.

(HELICOPTER BLADES WHIRRING)

The department's portable air
attack units can fix their target...

Man, sure looks like to me like they're
going to need some more manpower.

“Jess than 45 seconds.

And they carry over
300 gallons each trip.

Yeah, well. Better call the
chief engineer and let him know.

(GROANS)

Hey, Deke. Hey, Johnny, Roy.

What happened?

Oh, things blew up. It's spotting
all over the place up there.

Did you get them out? Yeah.

You about beat? Yeah.

Hey, listen, did they say
anything about relieving you guys?

No, no, listen,
I got to move on. See you guys.

All right, see you later.
Take it easy, Deke.

All right.

We need syringes.

Yeah.

What?

We need syringes.

Oh, syringes.

How are we on lidocaine?

Lidocaine?

I want those firemen transferred to
the burn ward as soon as possible.

Right.

Is it real bad? Real bad.

MAN: Assistant 1, Battalion 5.

I need three camp crews
and a tractor.

We have structures involved.

DISPATCHER:
Engine 62, Assistant 1.

Go ahead, 60.

We're committed
to a structure here.

End of Pheasant Lane
and need some help.

10-4, Engine 60.

Engine 76, this is Assistant 1.

Get down to Pheasant Lane
and give Engine 60 some help.

(RADIO BEEPING)

MAN: Squad 51, an unconscious
man in Federal Courthouse.

1512 West Harmon.
1512 West Harmon.

Cross street, Webley.
Time out, 1056.

The courthouse.

That's two blocks away from here. Squad 51,
10-4.

(SIREN WAILING)

Excuse us.

Excuse us, please. Excuse us.

What's the problem? He raised an objection,
and he suddenly fell back.

You gave him a
heart attack. Be quiet.

We thought it best
not to touch him.

No carotid.

(OXYGEN HISSING)

All right. What's that for?

Pre-cardial thump
to get his heart going.

You know CPR?

I took the Heart Association
course two years ago.

What about you?

What's a CPR?

You want to take
this over here? Okay.

Judge, can you take my
place? Certainly. Certainly.

Five compressions
to each ventilation, right?

Hold his head all the way back
till he gets a free air passage

and hit this once
to each one of his five.

Doesn't this constitute
a mistrial, Your Honor?

Come on, this is hardly the
time to worry about your trial.

What about an appeal?

Shouldn't there be more of
you? We're undermanned.

The fire? Yeah.

We're lucky that you
were close by.

What's that for?

It's going to measure his heart here.
Has he got a history of a heart illness?

Yes, yes. Several years ago,
he had a massive one.

He said at that time,
he was going to give up trial law

and leave it to his
younger partner.

I talked to him before we
came into court this morning.

He said he felt up to it.

Thought the activity
would do him good.

What's going to happen to me?

Bailiff, will you show
the defendant out?

Were you be able to
get in touch with Rampart?

No, not yet. Might be able to
as soon as I get this tied in here.

Okay. Okay,
I'm gonna call Rampart.

Oh, no time.
He's going to V-fib.

What's this?

He's gone into
ventricular fibrillation.

What's that?
Erratic, random heartbeats.

Okay, clear. Yeah.

Oxygen. Oxygen.

Wait a minute. V-fib.
Hit him again.

Clear.

Right. Oxygen.

Yeah,
he's in. Take over here. Okay, sure.

Rampart, this is Squad 51.

51, this is Rampart, go ahead.

Rampart, we have
a male in his late 50s.

BP and pulse were zero when
we first arrived. It was a full arrest.

He's had a massive
heart attack a few years ago.

The electrocardiogram
showed V-fib.

We've countershocked
400 watt-seconds.

Scope now shows
ventricular rhythm.

51, give him 2 amps
sodium bicarb

and then set up
an isoproterenol drip.

51, are you able to get a BP?

No spontaneous respiration.

BP is 40 by palpation.

Rampart, no spontaneous
respiration.

BP is 40 by palpation.

10-4, 51. Advise when
isoproterenol drip is started.

Wait, I think he's starting
to breathe on his own.

Right, that rate's up to 70.

BP is now 100 by palpation.

Rampart, patient is now
breathing on his own.

Rate is 70,
BP is 100 by palpation.

10-4, 51,
transport as soon as possible.

10-4, Rampart.

Well, you would have made
a good doctor.

It'd be a change.

Instead of giving heart attacks,
I could treat them.

Nice job.

Thank you.

Is he married?
Yeah, I'll call his wife.

Where are you taking
him? Rampart General.

You boys do your job well.

We appreciate the help you gave
us today. We certainly needed you.

It's a strange feeling
you get. What's that?

Well, knowing that if you stop
the rhythm, the man dies.

Weighing life and death,
I understand, but this...

It's so immediate.

Hi,
Doc. You got him in just in time.

We had some help.
Yeah, how is he?

He's in CCU.

Dix, I want to test
for serial enzymes.

Right. See you later.

Any change?

He's stabilized.

You guys gave me back a
little something today. Thanks.

What did we give him?

Well, probably a good feeling.

You know, sometimes the strong
arm of the law gets pretty heavy.

I guess so.

Yeah, I bet you guys thought
today was going to be a total loss.

JOHNNY: Well...

ROY: That's Deke's wife.
What's she doing here?

Her husband. What happened?

Well, he was working in a house

and a burning beam fell on him.

Well, how is he?

Not too good.
He's in surgery now.

He just brought in
those two firemen.

She's my wife's best friend.

I better go talk to her.

Susan.

I don't... I just don't feel like talking,
Roy, I'm sorry.

Yeah, yeah, I know.

I'll tell you one thing,
though. This is it.

There'|| be no more of this.

I want a husband. I
don't want a battering ram.

Susan. Please, Roy.

I know exactly what you're going to say,
so just let me spare you.

Somebody's got to do it,
right? Is that what you're going to say?

Yeah, that's what Deke
always says.

I think it's part
of your training.

Anything happens, just lay
that line on whoever's left behind.

But it's not gonna work
because I'm not buying it.

And I'll tell you something else.
Joanne wouldn't buy it either.

I can tell you that!

Maybe you're right.

It's just a phrase.
A stupid, empty phrase.

Deke may not make it.

Did you know that?

It's so unfair.

We were just starting.
We just bought a house.

We had so little time together.

So little time to do all
the things that we planned.

Deke...

Should we take her to a lounge
or something?

Would you like to come with us
so you can get yourself together?

You'll feel better.

WOMAN ON PA.' Dr. Allen, 63.

NEWSREADER: Four Los Angeles
County Fire Department bulldozers

operated by experienced
firefighters.

Talking to Susan out there...

She was talking
about her and Deke.

Yeah, I know.

"Transported on
huge red tractor trailers..."

I want to go for a walk. Okay.

A few yards ahead of the flames,

scraping through brush and grass
to form a work line for the firemen.

Each dozer is radio-equipped
and each has a flame-proof blanket

to protect the operator
should he be overrun by flames.

Weighing 35 tons apiece,

the bulldozers are capable of
negotiating almost any terrain.

Other County departments
often send in bulldozers

to help on a major fire

and private contractors make their
equipment and operators available.

The first line
of firefighting...

Let's take him
to Treatment Room 3.

If I'd only gotten to
him sooner.

I just left him alone
while I went to the store.

Dix, is Room 6 open?
What about it, Mike?

I got a fireman's wife in there. She
can come out. Can I use your office?

Yeah, thanks. You bet. Do it.

How is she? She's all right.

Can I see her?

Well, we're gonna move her down
to Brackett's office but not long.

He's very old, you see.
He can't walk.

He depends on me.
I'm all he has.

Look, we're taking
very good care of him.

Just wait in the waiting room...

Oh, no, no,
you don't understand.

He's confused.
He's afraid of people.

If he wakes up and sees a room full
of strangers, he might have a stroke.

It's a terrible thing
when you get old.

The old become like children.

Come with me. Thank you.

Look, it's really best... It's
best if you go by yourself, okay?

No, no, come on down with me.
It's...

No, look, it's really best
if you do it yourself.

I can go take care
of Deke, okay?

All right.
All right, I'll see you later.

I shouldn't be too long.

All right. Okay.

Oh, Roy.

Hi.

I'm sorry. Please forgive
me for that outburst.

Oh, that's easy. Why don't
you ask something hard?

I know I can't live his life.

Besides, he just loves
what he does.

We all do.

Then no one should be allowed
to take it away.

Not even a wife.

I wonder how many women
feel that way.

I don't know.
I never took a poll.

Not many.

Well, I guess we all have
our own interests.

It's rough on the wives,
I know that.

I just love him
too much to lose him

and I love him too much
to make him give it up.

I'm trapped.

Hey, it's gonna be all right.

What's worse than
a moaning wife?

A wife who doesn't care.

How do you feel?

Tired.

Yeah, well, you've
been through a lot.

I put you through a lot.

Well, I can take it.

Part of the training?

In a way.

Hysterical wives. Oh, awful.

Look, why don't you rest?

And I'll come back and
check on you a little later.

Promise?

Promise.

Thanks.

Hey.

How is she? She's all right.

Listen, Deke is still
in surgery,

but, you know,
they feel pretty optimistic.

Yeah?
Yeah. That's what they said.

Thanks.

Well...

WOMAN ON PA:
Dr. Shapiro, Emergency Area.

DISPATCHER:
Engine 51, Battalion 5.

Protect those homes at
the end of Pepper Tree Lane.

MAN: Battalion 5,
this is Engine 60.

Go ahead, Engine 60.

We got a house that's going
and another about to go.

Could use another rig
down here, Battalion 5.

Engine 60, this is Battalion
5. What is your exact location?

Just east of 43's, Battalion 5.

In the canyon just below them.
It's getting pretty hot down here.

NEWSREADER: The fire
is still raging out of control.

Still no sign of containment.

Evacuation, for the most part,
has been orderly.

Helicopters have been
making water drops

and bulldozers are
chopping out fire breaks

on the northern rim in
an effort to save that area.

More than 30 fire engines.”
You know,

I'm beginning to realize that I had the
wrong attitude about going to this fire.

Oh?

Yeah. I mean,
look at it this way.

Engine 51 is out there
on some hot hill,

eating smoke, tired and hungry.

And we're back here at the station, quite
comfortable, about ready to have some eggs.

Not just some eggs. Eggs Lupin.

Oh, yeah, right. Eggs Lupin.

(WHISTLING)

Plus we might get some
interesting runs.

Yeah, this looks
like scrambled eggs.

The Plans Chief determines what will be
needed tomorrow if this fire isn't contained.

What will the weather do?
How about relief personnel?

The Plans Chief
is the intelligence...

These eggs are terrible.

Really? I kind of like them.

More trucks? More men needed?

Yeah, you know, I was real excited
about going in the fire and everything.

I guess it's sort of
a reflex action.

But then I started to weigh
everything out and I think you're right.

We're better off here.

I agree. We're much,
much better off.

Then, the Operations Chief

the man in overall command of this fire
for the Los Angeles County Fire Department,

is plotting strategy.

He calls in his deputies
for consultation,

somewhere they can work away
from the chatter of the radios

the telephones and the people,

but remain in instant contact

with this mobile
communications center.

(ALARM SOUNDING)

DISPATCHER: Squad 51,
respond to the Harvest Hills fire.

BOTH: It's us!

Top of Jumpers Lane.

Time out, 1315.

All those lines
where the fire and...

(ENGINE STARTING)

(SIREN WAILING)

(RADIO CHATTER)

MAN: Battalion 5,

we have crews 91 and 93
working in Sector A.

If the wind doesn't change, I figure we
got maybe half an hour. It's rough terrain.

Too rough for a spider tractor.

10-4, Battalion 5.

How's the wind? What direction?

Southeast about
20 miles an hour.

(MAN CHATTERING ON PA)

Oh, man.

I thought they'd put us
where the action is.

Well, somebody's got to be here.

Seems to me I've heard
that some place before.

Battalion 5, I'm sending
you Copter 15 right away.

Well, why don't we go see
what's going on?

Once the camp crews start coming in,
maybe, uh...

Maybe, well, we're going to be
tired for sure, rinsing out eyes.

Fantastic.

REPORTER: Ls there any sign
of containment?

As you know, we're battling
the wind out here, too.

We have some containment,

but the burning embers and
shingles are flying all over the area.

And we're getting
a lot of spot fires.

How many homes have been
lost so far?

Ten, probably, all told.

How did it start?

We're really not sure.

Do you suspect arson?

We just don't know. Right now,
we're just busy trying to stop this thing.

What about evacuation?

We have evacuated those areas
in immediate danger.

Salvation Army and the Red
Cross are assisting the evacuees.

What happens when a fire worsens as it
has today? Where do you get more equipment?

Throughout the county,
the state.

We have units from LA City
here and covering our stations.

Long Beach, other cities.

Hey, firemen. Maybe you can
give us your firsthand impressions

of what it's like
to be out on the lines.

Well, see, we're just kind
of hanging around here. It's...

He's a paramedic,
and he's here to treat the causalities.

What about casualties?

(FIRE ENGINE HONKING) CHIEF:
One paramedic in critical condition

and two other fireman have
been transferred to the burn ward.

REPORTER: I understand there's
some hotspots on the south side.

CHIEF: Yes, that's the real
hot area right now.

Hey, John, Roy,
can you help me with Chet?

Are you burned? No,
just a lot of crud in my eye.

All right, well,
come on over here. We're all set up.

We'll take care of you.
Can't see.

I got so much dirt in there,
I could grow dichondra.

JOHNNY: Yeah, all right.

We'll go over here
and we'll wash your eyes out.

Just walk straight. Okay, now.

MARCO: You guys just get here?

No, we've been here
for quite a while, I guess.

All right, here we go.

My eyes really hurt.

Let me take a look at
that. How is it out there?

Bad, really bad.

Okay. I want you
to rinse your eyes here.

Should have worn your goggles.

I did, but it doesn't help
with smoke like that.

Boy, I'm glad I don't have to
blink like this all my life.

I knew a guy who
had to blink like that.

Went through life
getting his face slapped.

I don't want to hear it, Marco.

There's nothing more
to tell, pal.

Great story, Marco.

I just thought I'd get
your mind off your eyes.

Gee, yeah, so he tells me a
story about a guy who blinks.

Okay, thanks a lot.
I'll take care of it.

(GROANING)

Eat a little smoke, eh, Cal?

(COUGHING)

JOHNNY: Here we go. Let's
have a look at that other eye.

JOHNNY: Just breathe it in deep.

Oh, this is the worst
brush fire I ever been on.

I hear Deke got it
pretty bad out there.

(HELICOPTER WHIRRING)

Yeah.

Yeah, it could go
either way, I guess.

DISPATCHER:
Base Camp, Assistant 1.

There's a task force
down at 65 Cooley Canyon.

Assistant 2, Base Camp, 10-4.

Engine 16, Engine 36,
Engine 99, Engine 51.

Proceed to Cooley Canyon.

You okay? Okay, yeah, let's go.

All right, take it easy,
you guys. Okay.

(MAN CHATTERING ON PA)

We've got smoke inhalation
here. He's okay.

Just giving him some oxygen.

All right, well, they
just got reassigned.

I know, so I heard.

MAN: Base Camp, Sprite 18.

I'm in the mouth of Jawbone
Canyon. Just had an accident.

That's close to here.

DISPATCHER:
Sprite 18, Base Camp.

Can you give us a better
location of your accident?

I'm about half a mile east of the
Tank Motorway in Jawbone Canyon.

Squad 51, Base Camp.

Report to the incident
at Jawbone Canyon.

Squad 14, Base Camp.
Report to station 55.

MAN ON RADIO:

I think the Tank Motorway is the
next road up here on your right.

Yeah, the next road
up here on the right.

DISPATCHER:

All right.

Battalion 5, this is Squad 51.

We're at the Tank Motorway.

We're blocked
and we're proceeding on foot.

DISPATCHER: 10-4, 51.

Hey, Don. Hey.

Hey, John,
Roy. How're you doing? Good.

I haven't seen you guys
for a while.

Last time I saw you, you were driving
one of those food dispenser trucks.

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

I thought it was too dull
and I traded it in for this thing.

Uh-huh.

Well, at least you don't have several hundred
stomach aches on your conscience anymore.

Always got something to do.

Hey, ROY-

Battalion 5, this is Squad 51.
We're at Sprite 18's location.

The fire's spread to
both sides of the canyon.

You better give us a water drop
or we may not be able to get out.

MAN ON RADIO.' 10-4, 51.

Engine 51, Engine 60,

We'll get there
as quickly as we can.

All right, boys,
let's get the shovels.

Engine 51, Battalion 5,
what's your ETA?

Battalion 5, Engine 51,
our ETA is three minutes.

10-4, 51.
Tanker 76, Battalion 5,

proceed to Engine 51's location on
the north ridge of Jawbone Canyon.

MAN 1: Copter 10, Copter 14,

I want an air drop on Jawbone Canyon,
one half-mile east of Tank Motorway.

MAN 2: Copter 10, 10-4.

MAN 3: Copter 14, 10-4.

Okay, now lift!

(GRUNTING)

Great, that's it! JOHNNY: Okay.

That's it! He's got it.

(Rig ht, you okay.) Okay?

You all right?
My side still hurts,

but right now I got a feeling
that's the least of my worries.

Hey, you know,
I got a feeling you're right.

LA, this is Squad 51,
we got the man free.

Fires on both sides
of the canyon right now.

It's spotting out
in front of us.

We got no way out.

MAN: 10-4, we'll be there
in a couple of minutes.

They're not going to get to us
in time. We better dig in.

All right.

(GRUNTING)

We don't have much time.

Yeah, I know.

I got it. Right over here.

Squad 51, Engine 51.

We're on the north rim
of Jawbone Canyon,

but we can't see you
through the smoke.

Can you give us
a more specific location?

We came up the Tank Motorway.
We're right here next to the ravine.

10-4, we'll be right down.

Hey, boys, it's John
and Roy down there.

Chet, grab an inch and a half.
Marco, a shovel and a rope.

Couple of shovels.

PILOT: Engine 51, Copter 10.

We're two minutes out,
Give us a location for the first drop.

Yeah, Copter 10,
give us a drop on the north slope.

STANLEY: We got to fight our way
down there, we need a line to get in.

10-4.

Hey, fire!

(GRUNTING)

Engine 51, this is Squad 51,
it's real hot here.

How about a water drop?

STANLEY:
Copter teams, do you copy?

PILOT: 10-4, 51.

Okay, let's get down.

The handie-talk.

I'm not sure this is any
better than being in the fire.

Neither am I.

Here's a sack for you. Right.

Why? To get this dirt on us.

Your sack.

14, can you see us? We're
just down from our engine.

10-4.

Okay, how about a drop
immediately south of where we are?

10-4.

Captain Stanley, Engine 51.

We're down to about
100 gallons of water.

(GROANING)

Hey, go easy on that water
till we get some more!

Cap, we're out of water.

Tanker 44, Engine 51,
what's your ETA on our location?

MAN: We're almost there.
Any minute.

Yeah, 10-4.

(HONKING)

Captain Stanley, Engine 51,

Tanker 44 has arrived.

10-4.

PILOT: Engine 51, Copter 10,

I can make a drop
on your location.

Captain's going to
throw us a line.

Okay, the cover is going down.
Okay.

PILOT: 10-4. Copter 14.

There's a lot
of spotting above you.

You better get out of there.
I'll cover you.

10-4, Copter 14.10-4.

Let's run.

Captain,
remember he has injuries

so he better take it easy,
all right? Yeah.

Right.

You okay, Cap?

Everybody's alive and
right now I'll settle for that.

Cap, Roy and John are back
from the hospital.

You know something?

Really thought we'd
lost them out there today.

Yeah, it was awful close.

I was never so glad
to see anybody in my life

than I was those guys
down in the canyon.

For a minute there,
I didn't think they were going to make it.

Neither did I.

(MAN CHATTERING ON PA)

Oh, food, food.

How you guys doing?

Hey,
we got some good news. Yeah?

Deke's going to
be all right. Terrific.

Don had four broken ribs.

So scared he didn't
even know it.

Oh, that's funny, didn't he know
he had the best engine company

in the county coming after him?

Well, they don't know
you guys like we do.

Yeah, fortunately.

As long as you two
weren't worried.

Oh, no way were we worried.

Never even crossed our mind.

Hey, what's the latest
on the fire?

Well, it's about 80% contained.

We're going to be here
all night, mopping it up.

Yeah.

Are you hungry?

Yeah. I'm starving.
Where's the food?

Over there.

DISPATCHER: Squad 51,
person with a sprained hand.

4275 Saddlehom Lane.

Time out, 1825.

Bye.
