                                                                                         9. FIRE CALL SPACES & CARDS

When a player lands on one of these spaces, it is their chance to win a District. When landing here you must pick a card from the Fire Call stack and attempt to complete the call, unless you already own the District or you are covering the last District and it would win the game for one of your opponents (See Winning The Game). On each FIRE CALL card a District number will be indicated below, this is the District you are attempting to win. There will also be a list of different pieces of Fire Service Equipment in which you will need in order to complete the FIRE CALL. The number of pieces you need however; totally depends on your rank. Each rank on the FIRE CALL card is indicated by a colour striped arrow. If you were a “FIREFIGHTER”, you would require “ALL” nine pieces of Fire Service Equipment asked for on each FIRE CALL card. However, if you were to pick the following card and your Fire Service Badge was that of a “CAPTAIN”, you would require an AERIAL TRUCK, VENTILATION SAW, CLASS “A” FOAM, CASCADE SYSTEM, THERMAL IMAGER, VEHICLE EXTRICATION and a GAS DETECTOR in order to complete the Fire Call. If you were successful in completing this Fire Call, you would than place one of your Fire Departments District Markers over District # 8 on the board. 

If the District has already been covered by one of your opponents District Markers, you would immediately replace their District Marker with one of your own. To do this you must possess or acquire the necessary Fire Department cards through Mutual Aid, to complete the Fire Call and earn your right for the District. All discarded Fire Call cards are to be placed face up in a pile next to the Fire Call stack, and reshuffled when the draw pile is depleted to be used again. In the event a player cannot complete a Fire Call, the player is not penalized, and play just moves to the next participating player.
