Smoke investigation ( diesel engine starting, dryer vent in cold weather)
Ambulance calls
Transformer fire ( reflection of a light in the rain)
Water in the house ( residents on vacation when pipe burst)

LOL-include foot pain and headache. my personal favorite we used to call "SEX CODES" you walk in the house, it's 2am. There's champange next to the bed, victorias secret garments on the floor. the woman's in her most conceeling head to toe robe and crying. ALL OF THIS you miss and ask the guy on the bed gasping" what were you doing when the chest pain began sir?"
