Calling 911

Calling 911

When coming home from a very late shift at night...

Charles: I'd like to call and report a fire. [Lives in a fire prone
area and it was the season.]

911: Where is it located sir?

Charles: On the hillside just East of [City].

911: Can you be more specific? [Typing away in the background.]

Charles: Yes, [gives a more detailed location]. Oh god, it's getting bigger!

911: Stay calm sir, we're sending somebody out.

Charles: It's getting bigger! Oh god! Oh...oh, wait...

911: Sir?

Charles: I am SO sorry...I'm not usually out this time of night, I just got off work late...that's, that's the sun...

911: ...

Charles: I am so, so sorry for wasting your time, there is no fire, that's just the sun rising. Never mind. I'm really embarrassed...

911: That's fine, Sir. I will cancel the call, thank you for calling.
