Whats the weirdest thing you had happen off duty?
Me I had a incident one evening when me and a friend were walking back from the store when we cam across a car with its driver side door open and two legs sticking out I go to investigate as I had noticed that the legs had not so much as twitched when I get to the car I find a man stuck between the dash and front seat under the steering wheel. So bad that me and my friend could not pull him out finaly iI sent my friend to call 911 as the man was complaining of not being able to breathe.

Driving down a freeway one day on a nice sunny, clear day when I came upon a rollover accident. One car rolled up, sorta up a embankment on right side of the lanes, 2nd car was just pulled over in breakdown lane - I thought "helpful bystander?"
Single female driver patient thrown from the roll-over car - WHY was she in an accident?
Because the "helpful bystander" male driver from the second car was trying to get her phone number passed between the cars at 50 mph hour - through her driver's window into his passenger window. Female driver (on the right side of the stupid drive-by transaction) got scared when their side mirrors almost rubbed compelling her to swerve away from the transaction... and causing her to roll her car.
Female patient was conscious but very badly injured... and the male driver from the other car was at least honorable enough to pull over to try to help the girl he coulda killed while he was trying to pick up.
Since the 3 of us were the only people on scene for 10 minutes or so I made the man help me with patient care and calm the patient... and then I made him go to the hospital with her for emotional support ~~~ so the dumb ass ~~~ would not put another girl in danger just for her phone number... and if they ended up together, then wouldn't he be glad he did not just leave her alongside the freeway after a serious accident - he helped cause.

I was at home one day chillin and my friend called me to say her kitchen was on fire...
I said "did you call 911 or the fire department?"
She said "No, you're a firefighter, can't you come save my house?"
(since we all know of the elusive complete fire department in a napsack, by which any fire fighter off duty can immediately unzip a few pockets of said napsack to reveal water, supplies, and crew... in an instant)

Drunk guy hanging out of his truck cab, head first (head almost on the ground - legs across bench seat) - pulled up at the gas station pumps.
None responsive to verbal stimuli
95 F degrees - super humid - and 12 noon
Police said they could not arrest him for "drunk driving" since no one on scene SAW him driving.
His wife was called to come get him - she brought 5 little kids - who stood in the parking lot as the wife yelled at drunk husband for not getting home 5 hours earlier when he got off from work at 7 AM.
Gotta love early morning drinking...
The breakfast of champions.
