DUMBEST THING EVER HEARD ON THE RADIO/SCANNER

I will never live down the time I asked the woman on 911

"Where are her chest pains coming from?"

Ya...that would be a golden moment!

Just a few minutes ago, I heard the following on the sheriff's dept frequency:

"Unit 89, Unit 74, respond to Walmart on a report of a 10-10 verbal (argument) between a woman and a seven year old. RP (reporting party) reports that it appears the 7 year old is winning"

Anyone else have any good ones?

I heard a medic the other day with his radio mic locked on singing "Another one bites the dust" in an out of breath voice while on a CPR in progress... dispatch had to radio into fire who was riding with him to let him know he was broadcasting it to the world.

Transient rider of the rails fell off the train, and the wheels rolled over him.

First-arriving BLS engine company LT got a little flustered, thus the update:

"Double decapitation below the knees"

The guy's been retired about 10 years now, but the story lives on...

We had 8-10 train tracks in town with a big switching facility for mainly coal trains. But every now and then someone would jump out in front of one on purpose. That's what happened one night. The guy lived. After calling medical control and let them know what was going a police officer showed up, with the guy's left leg. He put it in the deep sink and said that the rest of him was coming in about ten minutes.

Sounds like the victim didn't have a leg to stand on.

(Oh, I can be so bad, sometimes!)

So medical care is fairly cheap there?

Only a leg, you get to keep both arms!

wow..those funny things do not happen in my country
