This is like some of the calls we would get as 9-1-1 operators
Nocturnal Dispatchers
Funny call from a fan:
CJS
Ok I have to share this! Had an awesome “here’s your sign call”. Went a little something like this
Me: 911 what is the address of your emergency?
DA1: yes umm I live at 123 AbC st. My neighbor told me to call
Me: ok whats goin on?
DA1: well. He knocked on my door and told me he needed an ambulance because he fell down and cant get up! *panic voice*
Me: ok sir let me repeat this so I know I heard you correctly. Your neighbor walked over to your house, knocked on your door and told you that HE fell down and cant get up? Or did someone else fall down?
DA1: yes thats right. He fell down.
Me: ok sir i have an ambulance on the way
Moments later….
EMT calls to let me know they have helped DA2 (aka the neighbor who walked next door that advised he fell and couldn’t get up) up.
Apparently DA2, after telling his neighbor (DA1) to call 911, walked back to his house and laid down and waited for us to get there….
This is what I like to call….job security!
