Dispatcher said he'd call EMS, which is medical and is great, but the crew clearly said a fire. No location given such as two miles past switch NNNN onto such and such division. The dispatcher would be sending the fire service on a goose chase. The crew did not indicate if any of their loads had hazmat (the train was not all pig).
