4. Cracking the Chimney Fire Emergency Mystery
“Volunteer firefighter here. Long story short, get a chimney fire call. Go to the address. Old lady greets us with confusion. Tells us she just lit a fire in her fireplace. Check the chimney, fine. Check the house, fine. Check the fireplace, fine. Ask dispatch if the call was from home address, she says it was a cell phone. The old lady didn’t make the call. OFW a random passerby called in a chimney fire because smoke was coming out of a chimney.” – Reddit user Haiku_lass
Some people just don’t think well enough before talking, but to be that ‘smart’ and call 911 when you see smoke coming out of a chimney is definitely taking stupidity to a whole new level.
