When a fire is called into dispatch, it is sent out as "tones" (the page from dispatch, sometimes over a PA system in the fire station or their portable radios) to the appropriate fire station. When the firefighters get the "tones" they stop whatever they are doing and run to their apparatus (fire truck, fire engine, ambulance, etc.) where they "don" their "turn outs". Donning means to put on or wear. Turn outs is a firefighter term for the protective clothing that firefighters wear into fires. Once in their turn outs they go en route to the fire, code 1(no lights or sirens) code 2(lights no sirens) code 3(lights and sirens), the terminology here can differ from department to department. Once they arrive they begin whatever operations they were sent out to perform.
