Reading all these humor stories has reminded me of this one. It happened a few years ago when i was a JR FF but I remember it like yestorday.
Got toned out of high school around 10 AM for Forcable entry for EMS.(Yes before i get this question, my high school released us for emergancy calls....just needed a note from the duty officer after the call)
Ride the Rescue-Engine out to the scene with three other dudes and beat the responding mutial aid BLS which is also volunteer and about 20 min down the road. Additional information was that the pt was unconscious and bleeding, door was locked and the caller was a child.
We arrive on scene and the asst chief grabs the halligan as a last resort but we start checking the doors and find the back door is unlocked. While continueing into the house we are yelling..."fire department, anyone here", we find the PT laying in bed with her daughter sitting next to her crying. As we start to walk into the room we are already trying to get a response.."ma'am, ma'am, fire department" As the asst chief reaches for the sternum rub this woman jumps up and starts screaming like hell, grabs her child and runs out the door. Now mind you, we are a volunteer service and wear no uniforms so we were all in jeans and t-shirts. So she just woke to find four strange men standing over her in her bedroom. She runs outside and sees big red sitting in the driveway and realizes what is going on.
So heres the story.... The woman cut herself while cooking breakfast and controlled the bleeding using a rag(small cut). Then she went to take a quick nap after putting the bloody cloth on the nightstand. After her daughter couldnt wake her, she called 911 and told the dispatcher that "mommy was bleeding and wont wake up"
