Is the 911 system commonly abused? What is your more garden variety dumbass calls as well as some of the most outrageous? How do you react when you are called out to people who don’t know how to use 911 say falling for a scraped knee, headache, ride

Asked by Lilith over 3 years ago

Yes, the system is abused and underpaid. People that dont have insurance use the system as their personal doctor and the system wasnt designed for that. The best thing you can do is address the situation and then educate them on issues for future. But it comes down to majority of people know that you call the fire dept when you don’t know who to call, cause they will take care of it.
