what ppl don’t realize is how fast too that fires can get out of hand and
someone could be killed!
Thanks for all you do firemen!
If people only knew what firemen, emt’s and deputies went thru…..you would not get some of these comments. This is men and women who put their lives on the line each time they go on a call, day or night.
Thank you Donna and William! I was on the first due engine to that fire last night. I am always glad to have back up just in case there is a working fire. I guess you have to be in this kind of bossiness to understand why we do the things we do to keep everyone safe and go home to our families! Thanks again ya’ll!
And if it were your bed on fire, wouldn’t you want plenty of our Firemen to help put it out before it caught your entire house on fire?
I believe you would!
Great job Firemen and dispatcher!
>I suppose the dispatcher did not know the nature of the blaze when she sent in the entire county’s fire resources
That’s the way it’s done. If a caller reports a fire involving a structure, they send lots of people right away. After the first firefighters get there and see what’s going on, they cancel the ones they don’t need.
It makes way more sense that sending one fire truck to find out the whole house is burning. When a smoldering mattress is called in (if the caller even provided that much info), it could be a roaring blaze in the few minutes it takes to get a fire truck there.
Must have been a hot date to catch the bed on fire. Four stations dispatched to a smoldering mattress? Sounds a litttle excessive. I suppose the dispatcher did not know the nature of the blaze when she sent in the entire county’s fire resources to extinguish Betty’s burning bed.
