Son Of A BEE

Ok just my two cents. DO NOT CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT!!!!! Is your house on fire? NO, Are your kids sick? NO, Is someone dead? NO, What do you want the to do spray water on them and piss them off? Go ahead you have a garden hose! Have you ever seen a cat skeleton in a tree? Dont call us for that either they will come down when they are ready and hungry. Got a cat sitting on top of your power pole, dont call us for that either!

just a short rant

It never ceases to amaze me how many people call the FD for the inappropriate things. Most Departments are already short staffed and overun, then people want them to be the bee keeper/cat catcher/etc. If you look in the Yellow Pages or call information theres a section called "pest removal" guess why its there? I used them this morning to come catch skunk that decided to live under my deck. Do think I called the FD no, I thought hmmm where would I call to get a skunk removed, answered all the above questions and said OH I KNOW the pest removal people not the FIRE department.

ooops really went off ranting, better go light a some big fat strong cigar in the humidor and go weed eat.

What ads said. Just insert cops for FD. We got a 911 call last week from a lady that was not tall enough to change a light buld on her front porch. ;)
 
Bill only knows her from his favorite show.........The West Wing. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

my dad was a paramedic for 32 yrs. he told us once of a call to a very large woman house, she complained she couldn't move and needed help. she couldn;t move get her remote controll she left in her bathroom...needless to say, that address was inserted into the "let's not rush to this call" book.

LMAO you wiseass :laugh: :laugh:

AVB knows me well enough to know that "West Wing" ain't on the list of my top ten favorite TV shows. :laugh:
 
oh, I dunno... we were involved in an iguana rescue from a tree... made the newspaper and all. Now, true- it's not the normal 911 call we get (is there such a thing?!?) but talk about great public relations!! There were letters to the editor, call backs to the local news, all favorable for us doing such a 'good public service'. So far we have yet to have a election bond for the fire deptartment loose and not get voted in.

call the media, get the coverage, and have the local FD come and clean them out! And if your grandmother, or other similar older type lady lives nearby, have them come over and make the call. we'll be a whole lot more helpful for a nice old lady than a young, able-bodied (wimpy :p) man!

In 14 years, I thought I'd seen it all but everyday holds a new one for me...
