Dispatcher:  OK ma'am, give me the address.

Caller: 150…

Caller: It's in Bryceville. I'm still in Nassau County but I have a Bryceville, Florida Address. Please hurry!

Dispatcher:  OK, what kind of fire is it?

Caller: It's burning some boxes. We just moved in and it just got out of control.

Dispatcher: How close is it to the house?

Caller: It's pretty close to everything. It's going on fire. He can't get the hose to reach.

Dispatcher: OK ma'am, stay on the line with me. We're going to get someone to dispatch you.

Caller: It's burning down on the dead grass.

Dispatcher: How close is it to your house?

Dispatcher:  Ma'am.

Caller: Yes.

Dispatcher:  Are there any structures in danger?

Caller:  No ma'am, is there any (To someone: STOP.  I swear that I'm going to kill ya.) Oh my god.

Dispatcher:  So he was burning debris?

Caller: Yes, and he wasn't doing was he was suppose to be doing. OK, do I have to stay on this phone? They don't have anyone on the way?

Dispatcher: Yes they do.

Caller: Nobody started it. I'm trying to tell you but if you don't hurry up then maybe so. I don't know what to tell anybody.

Dispatcher:  Ma'am, the units are on their way.

Caller:  (To someone: Just shut up!) I can't hear you because he's speaking out. (To someone: You should've never done this!) Oh my god! They need to get their asses over here.

Dispatcher:  Ma'am, listen to me for just a minute.

Caller: (To someone: Shut up! I can't hear her because of you.) Yes ma'am.

Dispatcher:  A unit is in route and what did you say was on fire?

Caller: The woods are on fire now and into the people's trailer!

Dispatcher: OK ma'am.

Caller: I can't talk to you. I just can't do it. How about that?

Dispatcher:  OK, well they're on their way.

Caller: OK bye.

(Call ends.)
