RE: Millions Continue To Call 911 Over Non-Emergencies
Yep. My husband is has been a firefighter and paramedic for over 10 years. I am always surprised by the reasons why people call 9-1-1.
Some people just want a ride from the bus station to the homeless shelter (this happened in Kansas City).
Luckily my husband has a great attitude about these types of situations. They just politely refuse and if they have time, they help find another mode of transport. Some people just do not have the mental capacity to deal with life and that is why they are in the situation they are in.
ive got a firefighter in the family as well, tough job! sad to see that many of their friends and old coworkers have now passed away at such a young age because of the work conditions they endured for years:/
