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 almost 6 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.

I am high school junior looking at switching from a High School Diploma to GED. I am interested in career in firefighting. Does a GED fulfill the academic requirement for fire fighting? Thank you!

Asked by bradshmad over 6 years ago

Yes, it does.

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 about 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.
