Little off the EMS side of it, but I love getting dispatched to a vehicle fire in a large parking lot such as Wal-Mart. Dispatch will come back after we go en route, and advise us of type of vehicle, color, and plate number.

Dispatch: Medic 1 you are responding to the manor (full of frequent fliers) for a 76 y/o female c/o shortness of breath, headache, leg & back pain, dizziness....... uhhh.... would you like me to continue?

Me: Negative dispatch, we get the picture, you can show Medic 1 enroute, and standby for a no-transport!

Its ever so unfortunate Richard that within several miles from where I live are the following:

Electric Boat / General Dynamics

US Naval Submarine Base / Sumbarine Warfare School

US Coast Guard Academy

Dow Chemical

Millstone / Dominion Nuclear Power Plant

Foxwoods Resort Casino

Mohegan Sun Casino

I-95

I-395

As well as many other very public (or military/government), high traffic areas

:evil: So ummm yea, needless to say living right in the middle of all this, escape from serious consiquense is probably nil. :evil:

Impressive list.

With the following Military bases in the State of NC, we figure there isn't a hole big enough to hide in. We may even be #1 on the hit list.

Marine Corp Base Camp Lajeune

Pope Air Force Base

MCAS Cherry Point

Air Force Base Seymour Johnson

US Army Fort Bragg

US Coast Guard Air Station

While responding Code 5 (lights and siren) past HQ (dispatch has a near 360 view of the city):

Dispatch, "Car Zeus, be advised your emergency lights are off!"

Me, "Negative base, we are code 5."

Dispatch, "Understood Zeus but again your lights are off."

Me now looking at the console very confused, "Base be advised all lights are activated."

Dispatch, "1-10 (contact) Base via landline!"

Turns out that our ambulance was having some electrical malfunctions. Returned to base and denied by the soup to transfer to another rig regardless of the fact that there were at least 20 not being used that shift.

One of MANY reasons why I quit that job due to feeling managment didnt give a damn about safety.
