That's the situation the Ripon Consolidated Fire District faced Saturday afternoon, highlighting what fire officials say is an ongoing staffing problem they hope voters will help solve.
Just four minutes later, another emergency call came in.
With its only available engine already committed, Ripon Fire relied on neighboring Manteca Fire to respond to the water rescue.
IIf Manteca was also tied up, crews from Waterford might have been next in line to receive a call for help.
The close timing of the two emergencies is exactly the type of scenario fire officials say underscores the need for additional staffing.
The funding would allow the district to hire six firefighters and finally staff a fire station that has sat vacant since 2014.
DeHart said the district already has the station, apparatus and equipment in place. The only thing missing is the funding to staff it.
Ballots were mailed to property owners in June and must be returned by Aug. 13. If the measure passes, the district hopes to have the additional firefighters on duty by January.
