You would think so. But I have heard FD calls to respond to ER waiting rooms because people get tired of waiting. Gee, what's wrong with that picture? Meanwhile, their could be a couple of doctors and nurses standing outside smoking a few yards away.

"<Fire Co>, respond to <address> in <city> for report of neighbor on fire. Not the structure, the actual neighbor person on fire, as reported by the caller."

Was cancelled a few minutes later so hopefully the 'neighbor person' is alright.

Must have taken Bruce Springsting's song to heart...

Hey little girl is your daddy home did he go away and leave you all alone - I got a bad desire - Oh, oh, oh, I'm on fire...

There's so many electrical or communications lines down today due to ice/snow, a fireman or policeman gave a pole number, and the dispatcher said "we'll put it in the portal".

I hear lots of calls to first responders for "lift assistance".
Used to live in a county where certain deputies would consistently develop "radio trouble" whenever Dispatch advised of ambulances requesting lifting assistance.

Odd thing heard on the scanner.

Was driving up to Dairy Queen (yeah... Dairy Queen is even better in the Fall, don't you know) when I heard a page over fire/EMS dispatch for a person at Walmart who had a heart attack and CPR was apparently being rendered. Latter I heard the victim jumped up, said they were fine, and refused transport. So I was like "whoa" and shook my head.

Now, I don't know what all the complex EMT protocols are, but I do know there are some things you can't deny allowing you to be transported to the hospital. This person is very lucky because I had to use CPR and the doctor that shook my hand at the hospital told me many people who apparently need CPR don't make it. Though, in my case my dad was "warm dead." Was the ol' "widow maker." CPR saved his life. Good thing it happened when it did because it typically happens at night and your spouse finds you deceased the next morning. My dad always plays the lotto and I told him he won the lotto of life. I have won the lotto of life as well, but that's a very loooong and amazing story to say the least. Lets just say I can't go back to a certain city anymore... LOL! By now they're probably all dead and buried like they belong anyway.

Fire call to a residence for a kitchen fire involving at least two five-gallon gas cans. Some sort of home experiment...Sheriff was later quoted by the local press as saying the owner of the residence was apparently "trying to increase the octane" of some regular unleaded.

Trooper: "And I'm sorry I didn't answer that, I was, like I said, I was on google."
Dispatcher: "10-4, you're forgiven. Don't let it happen again."
Trooper: "You can spank my hand later."
Dispatcher: "10-4, I will!"
