Comments to dispatch
So what is the funniest thing you have ever said to dispatch or heard over the radio?
"The roads are slicker than goose snot" (neighboring station, this still has a rolling)
"Standy by for clear code or you can pick one" (my station, I could not find our code book)
So what have you done to make dispatch laugh, shake their heads, and go "Really?"

I was the duty officer dispatched to alarm call at a local church. Upon arrival I was informed by church staff that they were having a breakfast for the congregation. When they set up the toaster, it was right under a smoke detector. You guessed it - burnt the toast and set off the alarms.
As I was clearing I advised dispatch "I have confirmed it is a false alarm - it was burnt toast, and not the Holy Ghost that caused the alarm". I'm sure the dispatcher just about peed her pants - I could hear her over the open mic laughing her butt off !!

Dispatch was in a hurry to do the radio and tone test one night. She ended her transmission with "911 dispatch queer." She was just a little tongue tied. She finally got it right after a couple of tries.

Listening to the radio one day, a call comes in for a neighboring station. Dispatch said the a mother has called saying that her 16 year old son came home drunk and was arguing with his father. A few minutes later dispatch says that the son was unconscious. Im sure you can guess what happens.

well out department has said several funny or what you could say unnecesary comments over the radio to dispatch and even us(Crew).We have an assistant chief who gets a little too excited.We got toned out for lifting assistance one morning and there was a snow on the road.The ambulance couldn't get up the woman's drive way she had came back from the hospital at like 4 in the morning and it was pouring the snow.He hollered at dispatch and said "Well the woman ought not be making them bring her home with road conditions like this."LOL" and he hollered on the radio at me cause I was taking our 4x4 jeep to meet the ambulance.He said "Now come over here and get me,I don't want that jeep tore up".lol I guess you could say he takes it a little too serious.
Then another time we got toned out on a car wreck and there was a snow on then too.Roads were covered.He hollers back at us on the radio to warn us that a certain place was slick.He says "I don't know I guess their must be ice froze under this snow or something".lol now I thought that one was pretty funny.What else happens when it snows?We got one guy who hollers at dispatch when we get toned out and he asks for directions to where the scene is.Funny thing is he'll holler and holler until they(Dispatch)answers him trying to get directions and then he don't even show up.He's been reprimanded for it too.He hasn't did it in a while though.

oh and we have a guy from one of our neighbor departments whose bad to stutter a little when he gets excited.Sometimes he gets on the radio hollering around and you can't understand a frickin word he says.When he's calm though you can understand him pretty good.He's a hell of a guy though and a good fire fighter just gets excited is all.lol

Bout 4 yrs ago we were headed to a chiminey fire that had been paged out as a structure fire and we driving all over a subdivision the roads the back outside tires hung off both sides it was so narrow. Cant find house anywhere.... so I got on the radio and asked the dispatcher for a description of the residents... instead of sayin no description the dispatcher replied "A house... On Fire." This was my first call that i was running actually driving a fire truck... Got so pissed finally found the house turned out to be a chiminy fire.
During all the snow a couple weeks ago we had just issued a radio to a newer member and he got to the scene of a mva and dispatch asked for a size up... his reply "Dispatch we got a bottled up mess out here send anyone and everyone." Poor fella still catches grieve for it

A few days ago it was in the negatives here in Colorado. I was on my 24 hour tour we get toned out for a water flow alarm. My ass. chief holds all units but him in quarters due to the weather. He does his thing on scene. On his way back he asked dispatch for the current tempature, dispatch comes back with "3 degrees" my ass. chief says "I don't believe you," dispatch comes back with "with the wind chill -20 degrees" my ass. chief comes back with "that I believe!"
