Our department responded to a private residence with a report of difficulty breathing. The crew arrived on scene to find the victim/caller waiting for them outside, ready to go to the hospital. As they asked the patient a few questions, she informed them that it was an intermittent issue... It only really happened when she and her boyfriend had intercourse and he went really fast.....

We had a man nearly drown in a porta john after it was tipped over with him inside. In all seriousness, it fractured his spine, and he was paralyzed from the neck down. I dunno if he lived, but it was a pretty rotten situation all around. Imagine living with that, killing someone, even accidentally, with a portable toilet?

One of the weirdest was just before I was voted into the department, the department was at our local fair for support for the demo derby, when we were called to the livestock area. When our guys arrived they found a goat had somehow forced its head between the bars of to temp. corral it was in. After a few dropped jaws and hmmmmmms, our guys showing their professialism, moved the crowd back, backed our rescue upto the area and procceeded to pry the bars apart with our JAWS, as if they prcticed every drillnight,. The goat was freed and returned to be showed no worst for the wear.

our dept had a call for a telephone pole on fire well we responded with 5 personel. when we arrived we did encounter the top of the pole on fire with the power company already on the scene which is a rareity in itself. well the power guy said we can probably just let this burn out and i can handle it. then my chief said yea you could probably handle that problem but can you handle the problem on the bottom of the can. now on the bottom of the can there was a hornets nest about as big around as the can and about a foot long. he then changed his mind. so our brave chief decides to fire up the high pressure hose while myself and a couple other brave firefighters ran for the truck. well they evicted the hornets waited about an hour for the air to clear and the power was turned back on.

The oddest call I have ever been at was dispatched as a physical rescue call. We got on scene to find out that she somehow got stuck under a dresser...odd

We also once had to help get a child's head unstuck from a recliner.

For me it was a still alarm for keys stuck in a sewer. The guy didnt think to stick his hand in the opening of the sewer grate. We were on scene for literally 30 seconds before leaving.

Had a woman call the sheriff's line today for a baby squirrel that fell out of the tree. Had she actually called the 9-1-1 line PSP was going to slap her with misuse of 911 services.
