Night shift briefing

You are working as a dispatcher for the Scottish Fire & Rescue Service. Peak Bonfire Night demand is about to hit Edinburgh. You have five fire engines and twenty-five neighbourhoods.

Siren alert Tap a flashing neighbourhood to send a unit.
On route The crew takes 5 seconds to arrive.
Blazing fire Triple tap to extinguish and return the engine.

You have two minutes on the clock. Calls will come faster and faster as the night goes on.

Keep as many communities safe as you can. Deliberate fires pull crews away from people who need them — that is why SFRS asks the public not to light them.
