I guess, as a 911 operator, I have just resigned myself to treating every call for help like it's the real deal. It's been burned into my brain since I started this job. [img]smile.gif[/img]

You'd be surprised to know how many false calls like this police, fire, and rescue workers respond to daily. It can be a huge waste of resources, but they just can't take the chance, even when they know it's 99.99% a bogus call.

The key word I should mention here is liability.
