Just heard a local fire/EMS for someone at local Diner that couldn't get off the toilet with weighting over 30p LBS.

Maybe that person should skip the diner and eat less food to lose weight.

Fire EMS works hard to protect us, but they sure have many crazy calls to assist that they should never have to handle.

CORNHOLE GAME TURNED VIOLENT
****** Drive - Chester, MD
First Responders have been dispatched to ****** Drive for an assault that has taken place. The caller said they were playing cornhole and she was assaulted.
After being assaulted, a male jumped on her back and covered her mouth so she couldn't breathe.
Police and EMS are both responding.

Some counties have even shelled out for special Bariatric unit ambulances with mega stretchers and a ramp+winch to get it in due to the sheer amount of calls.

Just now:

"Dispatch, my vehicle just got hit by a golf ball at <location>." He was on a traffic stop.

Checked Google Earth, and yeah, someone on the 1st or 18th must have shanked one waaaaaay off to the right. That's gonna make for some lively clubhouse ribbing and joking !!!

Some people just have no luck at all. Just now:

State Highway Patrol - "Got a deer 31, Caller advised he swerved and missed a deer, hit another deer and then hit a tree."

Dispatch responds

It is a 4 yr old male child with his genetalia caught in the zipper of his spiderman costume

Dispatcher was having a bit of a time trying not to laugh, Me, I was thinking, I've heard it all now & I have been scanning for 51 yrs !!

Uh yeah that's an incredibly common call, and they don't back off and wait for PD. PD is already dispatched first and EMS/Fire "stages" in the area until Code 4.

One time an agitated dementia home patient yanked his catheter out and tried to fending everyone off with it. Tasered.
