(Roberts and O'Halloran meet outside the building as the fire department arrives)
Kappy: Chief, this is Roberts, the architect.
Chief O' Hallorhan: What do we got here Kappy?
Kappy: Fire started, 81st floor, storage room. This is a bad one. Smoke is so thick we can't tell how far it's spread.
Chief O' Hallorhan: What about your exhaust system?
Doug Roberts: Well it should have reversed automatically. It must have been a motor burn-out or something.
Chief O' Hallorhan: Sprinklers?
Doug Roberts: They're not working on 81.
Chief O' Hallorhan: Why not?
Doug Roberts: I don't know.
(Roberts, O'Halloran & Kappy enter the lobby)
Chief O' Hallorhan: Jim?
Firefighter: Yes sir.
Chief O' Hallorhan: Alright, give us a quick refresher on your standpipe system.
Doug Roberts: Well, we got outlets on every floor, both 3 1/2" inch.
Chief O' Hallorhan: GPM?
Doug Roberts: 1500 from Ground to 68, 1000 from 68 to 100 and 500 from there to the roof.
Chief O' Hallorhan: Alright, you sure these elevators are programmed for emergency service?
Doug Roberts: These two are.
Chief O' Hallorhan: What floor do you keep your plans on?
Doug Roberts: 79, my office.
Chief O' Hallorhan: That's good, that's 2 floors below the fire. Alright, that'll be our Forward Command. Alright men, take up the equipment. Alright, let's go. (Roberts, O'Halloran, Kappy and a fireman board the elevator for the 79th floor)
Chief O' Hallorhan: Ok. Phew...architects.
Doug Roberts: Yeah, it's all our fault.
Chief O 'Hallorhan: Now you know there's no sure way for us to fight a fire in anything over the 7th floor. But you guys just keep building them as high as you can.
Doug Roberts: Hey, are you here to take me on, or the fire?
Kappy: Chief, this is Roberts, the architect.
