Toned out at 4:30a.m.this morning for a resident reporting his dishwasher is hot on top, caller requested no lights or sirens. Upon arrival begin to scan area with TIC. Notice a warm spot on top of counter over dishwasher and sitting to the left of that a still warm coffee pot on a wooden cutting board.
Me: Sir, where was this pot and board sitting?
Resident: There on top of the dishwasher.
Me: how long was it there?
Res.: I made a fresh pot about 1 hour ago.
yep, Convection through the board to warm the counter.

Better to be ready and not needed than not ready and needed.

It was about 10 to 12 years ago (just when CO detectors were just coming out) We responded to a CO alarm activation. Engine crew arrives on scene, full PPE, and SCBA enter the residence with gas meter in hand. We begin taking readings which were through the roof (true furnace malfunction). In comes the next due engine company officer no PPE, or SCBA and states and I quote " Why the hell are you guys still wearing your SCBA? I can't smell anything" duhhhhh, we kindly asked him to leave

We got a call to assit with an animal rescue. Ok, no problem, get the trucks to the scene. Chief says there's a bird in the tree. We say yeah, so? He says that;s the animal that needs help. Picture six guys in gear looking up the tree at an exotic bird, then looking at the deck gun on the engine. Chief sees us looking that way & says don't even think about it. Shaking our heads we go to work, me & my partner climb to the roof of an adjacent building to get the bird, one guy up the tree with a cop, the others on the ground watching. long story short, 2 hours later, cop knocks bird out of tree with pressurized water can & it flies to another tree. I look at the chief then at the cops gun. The chief shakes his head & walks away. The bird finally flew back into the aprtment it came from. At the station, we tell the chief at least with the deck gun, the bird wouldn't have flown into another tree.

This took place a few years back. Structure fire at night on a cul-de-sac. House is burning, the street is lite up with all kinds of lights. A man, drives his car on to the street, runs over the 5" supply line on the ground, flips a u-turn in the cul-de-sac, and runs over the hose again, then parks in front of his house. DPO calls for PD, and when PD gets there, driver tells him what happen'd and where the car is. The office contronts the man, and ask's him why he ran over the hose. The man replies, "I did not run over the hose, what makes you think it was me" The officer points to the man's car, and says "All you have to do is follow the oil trail from your car, over the hose, up the street, and then back down the street back to the hose, and your oil pan." The man was given a ticket for entering a fire scene, and destruction of property. The man then had to pay to have his car fixed, plus he bought a 100 ft.of 5" hose.

I've heard some dumb stuff before but I did love listening to a mutual aid fire I went to on a 3rd Alarm about a year ago. Seabrook had a very large 3 story house very well involved with a two car semi-attached garaged fully involved. I mean rippin its ass off- it was through the roof on both the house and garage. Tower-6 and District-6 (District Chief) were first dispatched on the 2nd to the fire... Engine-91 should have been hit for it too per SOP's but as always our dispatcher was an idiot. Since the dispatcher refused to repeat the address, the Capt on E-91 called District-6 who had just went on location for directions to the fire... only to get the response: "head up Red Bluff and it'd be a good time to turn left when you see the flames shooting over the neighborhood." Now that I read it, it doesnt seem quite as funny as I remember it but it was damn funny at 2am.

Yep! Had a few of our guys do that too! I don't see how you could do it with the gear we wear today.

We had a vehicle accident and a new girl on the ambulance. I told her to get me some ice packs for the patient. She was in the ambulance for quite a while and finally came out and said "I can't find the refrigerator", with out missing a beat, one of the guys yell "It's beside the microwave we use for the hot packs" God love her, she got right back in the ambulance looking.
