This is a collection of 911 memories that I experienced or knew about in my professional career. Some are sad, some are funny. We always must remember that to us it might not seem like an emergency because we are dealing with an injury accident with several injuries and they have a lost dog but remember they don't know about the accident and their dog is an important part of their life and a true emergency to them.
This is no way is meant to embarrass anyone or hurt anyone in any fraction. At no time will true names be used or even the location given if it means someone may be hurt by the information.
Please enjoy and hopefully next time you call 911 you will have a little more respect for the dispatcher instead of anger about her questions or the fact no one is coming immediately. Give our police officers some credit for the job they do. It is hard emotionally and physically and very hard their family life.
You will find ambulance stories (worked on the ambulance also for years) Emergency room stories (worked their too for a couple of years) and 911 (worked there for 30 years) Fire (kind of worked there, I volunteered but was never good as a fireman) stories of the street (from being with an officer or dispatching that call).
All respect for 911 responders from my heart
