What’s your IQ

Asked by Big Jim over 5 years ago

Never been tested. But high enough to serve the public lol.

Question. How misused is the 911 system misused and abused? Is it realls as bad as I have been told. I have heard of some really dumb calls.

Asked by Dan over 5 years ago

It is abused most definitely. I run legit calls 50% of the time but 50% of them are calls where people thing a sore neck from a carvereck is worth big bucks, call 911 get seen faster, no insurance ER will take care of you no matter what. But yes it is abused.

What if I call 911 to report a fire, but I put it out before the FD gets here, will they still respond?
And, when I call in a explosion how many engines or trucks will respond ( although it depends on the department)

Asked by Ty almost 6 years ago

First off why would you be calling for an explosion, this does send red flags for me so I will not be answering that question. But as for the first one, we will still respond due to you may not have completely extinguished.

What is the weirdest call you have ever been on? Or dumbest

Asked by Nancy over 5 years ago

Individual that was killed on his last day, last 10 min of his job since he was retiring and was caught in a cement mixer machine. Pretty much sits up near the top, other than delivering a baby during a police chase while riding with my youngest son on his job.

I was just wondering what kind of questions I should be expecting during a volunteer firefighter interview?
