Conversation between dispatch and a volunteer fire chief during a structure fire. (A great chief btw!)

Dispatch- "1301 would you like to send other units to your location?)

Chief- "Oh yeah! Emergency traffic! This thing is in full bloom!"

"The RP reports the driver smells of alcohol and there is a can of beer in the cup holder."

A few months ago I heard a similar call where someone drove out of a supermarket parking lot with an open container of beer on the roof of their car. The r/p suspected DUI for some reason...

County Law Dispatch: "Units South, subject reports that his security company notified him of an break in alarm. 2 Minute delay. Location is XXX South, YYY East. Need 2 units please."

XX-334: "334 Clear, en route from Highway XXX and ABC Road to Check and Advise."
XX-373: "373 Back me onto 334, en route from ZSD Road at XY Street."

Dispatch: "Clear, 334, 373 check and advise at 02:30 Hours."

About 8 minutes later....

XX-334: "334, ummm... Call DNR and advise them we have an irate deer at gunpoint suspected of breaking and entering, and malicious mischief. Ask them if they want to send out an unit to deal with this or should we set up a meat donation?"

LOL! That so sounds like some fun times as a Volunteer,.. Pull up to house fire with only whats in the truck, tanker is at least fifteen to twenty minutes out. Howdy, there is a POND! Back as close as can and still run lines to house and pond... Run a feed line to the pond. Once fire was out.... Then see that the back tires are rather deep in soft muddy grass. OOPS!

That's nearly as good as a call a few years ago in which I heard an officer called to a 5150 (suspected mental illness) call:

Dispatcher: "Please respond to (address), complainant says that the Death Star is hovering just outside her front window."

A few minutes later...

Officer: "Dispatch, I'm 10-97 (on scene), Death Star gone on arrival."

A number of years ago, a friend heard these two different police dispatches................

"Respond to Tiny's bar; a fight inside and outside".

"On xxxxxx Street. Investigate a disorderly crowd in a Volkswagen".
