False Alarm
October 24th, 2007
That must have been some false alarm. No fewer than nine fire trucks (and two ambulances) just pulled up outside, filling up the street for an entire block, across from my school.
There were no signs of smoke or other emergency, and then a truck made a loudspeaker announcement that there was no fire emergency.
A few of the fire trucks turning around and leaving in various directions:
My question is, what emergency would merit so many vehicles?
Weird.
My question is, what emergency would merit so many vehicles?
Daikaiju attack, obviously…
Maybe someone was making some foods, thought they smelled smoke, called the fire dept, and then realized what was causing the smoke, and called them back to tell them everything is ok. Popcorn sometimes burns a bit if overcooked. Perhaps it was popcorn that caused the incident.
Well, yeah, but 9 fire trucks and two ambulances? I’m fairly certain that such is not a usual response to any old report of “I smell something”…
