Overheard the dispatcher for a neighboring fire department dispatch them one night to an "unknown something".........not sure what trucks to roll for that one..............

Hello, everyone. Brand new to Fire Link and thought I would chime in on this thread.

One of the funniest runs that I have heard was when a guy was out at the airport in a Super Man costume. He didn't have a ticket but was going to hold onto the wing of the aircraft to make sure it got to it's destination safely.

Every year in our county, there is a sighting of an unknown type vehicle flying overhead being pulled by what looks like a bunch of deer. It usually starts at 11 pm.

I did once hear a well respected police officer call over the air that he saw an object he could not identify. No one dared question what he said.

dont have 1 as such but during the 1 st gulf war we were going to what was supposed to be a clear area but walked straight into a group of iraqi soldiers who got upset at our presence. anyway our officer,a man we would have followed to hell,got on the radio  to report this. the person on the other end came back and calmly said there are no enemy in your area. my boss looked at the mike,thaught for a second and replied "well you'd better get your F@$% in arse down here and tell them coz they obviously haven't been told that they are not meant to F$#%in be here". well the mike went silent for a while then the person on the other end replied and asked what was being done about the iraqis. my boss shook his head and replied "we're having tea and biscuits with them what the f@#$ do you think we're doing". well to cut along story short after a 10 15 min firefight a group of americans turned up and were more than happy to continue what we had started while we moved onto to try and sort the fuel systems out which was what we were there for in the 1st place.

anyways to finish if you ever meet any of the dispatchers from orleans county western new york just ask for Penfold and tell him Dangermouse sent you--------he'll get a kick from that

i've heard a deputy, on the regular channel say "i need to flip a b!tch" ... another deputy saying "i responded awhilebackago" .... being animal control some of the calls i've seen dispatched (we used MDTs- Mobile Data Terminals, like you see on COPS in their cars) i responded to a complaint written up as "nabors dog pooping on complainant wants in person contact"  the dispatcher forgot to add "lawn" after ON.

A while back, we heard a neighboring department come across our 911 dispatch channel "Hey Mark, you want to meet me at the sandwhich place to get some dinner?" The coversation went along like that for a few minutes before they finally decided on some breakfast joint. After it was all said and done we got on, half way laughing, half way annoyed and asked "(town name) station1 to (other town name) chief 1, do you need mutual aid with that?"

Depending o nthe area the crime occurs, we've had our ALS dispatched as :



ALS three respond to ___________ myrtle street, stage for PD, robbery in progress



 

A few years back I was working a fill the boot drive in another district and we were monitoring the radio. A call went out for a truck fire on the freeway. We could see the header from where we were and advised it was a working fire. A BC arrived onscene and gave a size up of a unsual type truck well envolved. When dispatch asked for a better description of the truck involved, the BC replied " 1 Oscar Mayer Weiner Mobile partly cooked , assuming  barbeque IC". The response from dispatch was complete silence.
