    24:45 I really don't like that the firefighters and the EMTs told the little kid off for calling 911. All the kid knew, was that someone was going to cut off his little sister's toe. We WANT kids to call for help - please don't frighten them for doing it. He probably won't call 911 ever again, not even if the house is on fire or a parent seriously injured, just because he was told off and grounded when he called to protect his little sis.

    Not a firefighter but I was the idiot and for the record, it was not a "rescue" per se.
    I turned on my "oven" to cook a frozen pizza. Ten or so minutes later while waiting for the frozen pizza to cook, my fire alarm started going off so I got up and the kitchen was starting to fill with smoke. Instead of turning on the oven, I'd turned on a burner, which had a plastic Tupperware lid on top of it. I threw the lid in the sink and got the flame out but the apartment kept filling with smoke. My across the hall neighbors even got smoke in their apartment and our fire alarms would not shut off. We had to call the fire dept and they knew me and they just laughed after I told them that I tried to fry a Tupperware lid. And for anyone that's interested, i did not get my pizza that night.

      Fun useless fact: there's a game where you can buy a martial arts skill for your character that's called Dwarven Mug Fighting. You basically whack people with your beer stein. At the highest level of skill you not only do a ridiculous amount of damage, you also don't spill your drink while doing so. The Drunk-Fu is strong with that one.

    17:06 this story.
    I saw a small fire at a dried up hay pile. I thought, well frick it, I pour my drink over it and stepped a little on it with my feed. That was the moment a total Karen came along the way. She screamed at me thinking I was about to lay a fire. Like that is the only reasonable thing to do for a 19 year old young teen alone at a horse stable. She then said, she know the owner and rushed away to get him. By the time she went, I got rid of the fire. I didn't leave immediatelly cause I wanted this Karen to know defeat when the owner sees me. Cause he knows me and he knows I don't lay fires lol. Sadly she didn't return. I went home. End.

    Years ago my region dealt with flooding from widespread rain. More of an inconvenience than anything. During is event, someone was reported on the roof of the Old Navy with a sign saying “HELP”. Turned out a retail worker showed up to their job, saw no one was there, then panicked. But rather than leaving in the car they used to get there, or even call 911, they thought climbing on the roof was their best course of action. On top of that, passers by stopped to heckle this person from the sidewalk.

    That story about the kid locking himself in the bedroom reminded me of this story my older sister told me, she is the reason we we're not allowed to have candles in the home as children and why everything remotely flammable was tightly monitored, when she was like 4 (Before I was born) my parents had scented candles in the bathroom. Apparently memorized by the flame she took a huge wad of toilet paper and started waving it around in the candle, then dropped the burning toilet paper into the trash which burst into flames. My father's fireman sense went off and he burst into the bathroom and put out the fire. Then my parents dumped all the candles and never bought more 🤷‍♀

    Back when I was a dispatcher, we got a call from a family one evening who said they were having trouble breathing. I send EMS and FD down there, police show up as well. I thought maybe they had a carbon monoxide leak because the lady who called was coughing and so were here kids. Nope. They had decided to set up a few bug bombs in their house and go to bed for the night, apparently not knowing or caring that bug bombs fill an entire room with bug spray, and you're supposed to leave the house for 4 hours when you set them off.

    Ya, I have a horse that has been rescued by my local fire department not once but twice! First time was with her former owners and was a T-post impalement after a fence fight with another horse went wrong and she ended up being hung by her butt. Took a bit over a year to heal and left a big scar. They had to cut the post to get her off.
    The second rescue was a couple of years ago and was a result of a game of catch me if you can. She managed to get the gate open and went for a run. She ended up though trying to run across the very rotten mobile home floor that was ground set on one end. This trailer floor had joists that ran the length of the trailer instead of the width. She went crashing through and ended up about the half way point before she stopped. I spent a hour and a half squatting on a floor joist keeping her calm. While vet and fire department got in position to be able to cut her out of the floor. That was a expensive evening! Many stitches were placed and she now has a lovely scar under her knee. She missed the lower joint spaces by A hair which would have led to a much different outcome. The captain of the crew sent out was the same one on her first rescue and actually recognized her.
    I still have her and she is still a naughty redhead!

    A few weeks ago, my neighbor's house caught on fire due to shady landlord negligence. My aunt, who was home at the time, told me the residents kept trying to get back into the house while the firefighters tried to do their thing. They honestly thought they could just... hang out in the house while it was on fire.
    Not surprising. They were terminally stupid and had been a nuisance ever since they moved in a few months before.

One time I was backing my car out. I look behind me and at first, there's no one there. I look ahead to readjust my car to get out of my parking space and looked behind me again to see this small child just appear out of nowhere further behind me. Those kids had a death wish.

    Back in ‘99 I went to see a friend and the elevator got stuck on the way up to his floor. The emergency phone receiver alongside the rows of buttons didn’t work. (Not everyone had cellphones then and I certainly didn’t). I’m usually punctual so a when I didn’t show up my friend came down the stairs to see what was going on. Firefighters were called and I was rescued. The funny/weird thing about it was that the department wanted to bill ME for the services! I don’t know how that would make any sense since I obviously didn’t own the building!

    Rescued person here. Not really stupid but funny in a way. I found a sink hole in my yard Don't know how the damn this came to be since I live in the city but many think it could have been left over from when the house was moved as it over 150 years old and one of the 1st house in the city.
    Well I almost fell in the 8 foot deep hole but saved by my big butts (cue BIG BUTT SONG FROM THE 90S) I scared about what's going on as i feel my self slipping down with each breath until one of the local firefighters who was off duty came and asked in a sacratc voice (he wasn't being mean just trying to calm me down and knew that i wasn't one for sweet talk and such. just be blunt with me). how was my day and was i digging gold?
    I glare at him and just tell him ' No i thought about being a human gopher for the day. We both were laughing at that. An way he was able to pull me out with out himself being pulled in and then the hole got bigger to which we moved really quickly.
    The sink hole was near my cat corral which is a chicken coop type that is used to let the cats be able to go outside with out them getting lost or hurt. Thankfully the hole stopped before it could reach the corral
    Still laught to this day about the rescue and the hole has been filled in but has settle a little that you can see the indent in the earth but not evnough to worry thought my dad once a year checks to make sure.

    Also, there's an old 999/911 recording somewhere on line of a bloke 1st ringing the police to complain about the giant white UFO hovering over his house with a spotlight. Sometime later, he rings back &, following orders from the angry woman in the background, admits it was actually the full moon & they need not come & that he may have has a few drinks. It's right up there on my all time favourites list.

    Not the firefighter but the rescued. I was showering in my bfs apartment while he was at work. As I got ready to learn, the door handle, which was crap, came off and of course it’s the bit without the bar in it. I tried to get it on but all too fast I heard the clank of the handle falling out on the other side of the door. Cue me screaming out a window to our backyard for help. Not sure how long I did that but eventually a young officer (yeah I know. Not a fire fight but I think it counts a little) opening the door to my wet and nude self. Yeah…. It was awkward.
    Another time, I was living in a dorm and divided to make marshmallow fondant and because I didn’t have enough powder sugar, I managed to glue my hands to the counter in a very thick and sticky mess. Had to tell for my neighbor who was a firefighter volunteer to come over and yank me free. We laughed a bit and I died a little inside of embarrassment.
