Please see following post.

This is one of 3 sets that had the special 1 x 1 round plate later added to the
end of the fire hose:
 
Part No: 85861  Name: Plate, Round 1 x 1 with Open Stud
* 
85861 Plate, Round 1 x 1 with Open Stud
Parts: Plate, Round
 
Set No: 60002  Name: Fire Truck
* 
60002-1 (Inv) Fire Truck
200 Parts, 2 Minifigures, 2013
Sets: Town: City: Fire
 
Set No: 60003  Name: Fire Emergency
* 
60003-1 (Inv) Fire Emergency
285 Parts, 3 Minifigures, 2013
Sets: Town: City: Fire
 
Set No: 60004  Name: Fire Station
* 
60004-1 (Inv) Fire Station
731 Parts, 5 Minifigures, 2013
Sets: Town: City: Fire
See the attached images of the early version of the set *without* the part.

This is what I would call a "zero-quantity" alternate, because one version of
the inventory does not contain the part and there are no other associated changes.
This has been handled different ways by different admins, but in the case of
these three sets, I feel it would be best to make them all the same in this respect.

My suggested fix (the lone alternate approach) follows the example in set 4441:
 
Set No: 4441  Name: Police Dog Van
* 
4441-1 (Inv) Police Dog Van
304 Parts, 2 Minifigures, 2012
Sets: Town: City: Police
Other approaches include adding the item as extra, attaching a non-changing part,
or simply adding a note. The only issues with the lone alternate approach in
the case of these 3 fire sets is that the part also came as an extra, AND apparently
the switch to the new version happened rather early. So the majority of these
sets *did* come with the part.
