OMG LMAO!!! Those are some funny ones!!!!
We do the same thing once were away from intersections. No sense in waking up half the town
LOL!!!!!! Damn there are some good ones here. I've honestly never thought to say something like these responses when asked "whats goin on?" I usually try and be professional and give a very brief description and tell the person that the area is not safe. I think next time I might have to go with "shark attack" of "parking cars in trees"
So there's a fire over there and your putting water on it...
Heard that one before..
Or hey thats a pumper what does it do pump water right...
dustin the problem for us is that in our area is grided( equal size blocks from above it would look like graph paper) and theres an intersection every 500 feet.. and we go lts and sirens to warn other responding companys our first due area is rather small and our normal response time is about on a far box no more that 3 mins away .. the next responding company is about 5 mins from that same box ..the lts. and sirens at that time are important in preventing accidents.
lol i like these comments a lot.
-some of my guys once sent our junior to about 6 neighboring companies to get our water hammer and friction loss spray.
-confirmed structure fire, smoke everywhere, someone comes to me and asks, "is something burning?"
-SWAT incident, sniper in a yard, armed suspect in a house, we are blocking traffic, woman comes up and says, "i need to get home, my cats are there, it's the one next to where all those guys in black are standing"
-while throwing a ladder to a 2nd story window, guy asks, "what if that window is locked?"
-"i didn't know plastic could melt!"
We had a call that was a unknown medical . The 20 something rp wanted me to read the pregnancy test . I told her it was positive and she was having triplets .
Just wait till ya'll hit someone while not running the siren . He will be making some good money from your city and/or fire dept. . We just had that happen close by and it did not even go to court .
My fav. is when they ask and try to do it anyway.
That's some funny stuff!!! Can't think of anything off the top of my head though I know I've heard a few.
Siren or not, someone's gonna get a chunk of change either way if they get hit by a fire truck. Half the time noone hears em during the day anyways with their little tuner cars and subwoofers, exhaust, etc. At least at 5am you're more visible with the lights on
I actually used the "parking cars in trees" one the other night excpet I subbed in a power pole instead. The look on that poor fellows face was priceless!

"What's goin on up there?"
"We're just parking cars in power poles, that one up ahead is taken but you can use the next one down if you'd like"
