dinojames22 · Accepted Answer

On a few occasions:

Possible drunk driver in the road,

Guy parked a car (lights out) in the middle of a bridge at night standing at the edge (dispatcher called back later to say the cops got to the guy and believe he was thinking about jumping),

Random stuff on fire in a road way (Possible kids lighting trash and throwing it at cars),

Possible sighting of a vehicle from a public Bolo for a missing senior citizen (turned put to be the missing person... drove 4 hours without knowing it)

A few times I called 9-1-1 for other people & knock on wood never for myself. I was driving home & what looked like two cars was a mess. Car parts everywhere & smoke as well. I called 9-1-1, parked my vehicle & a safe spot & turned on all my lights to light up the road. I rant to the first car & no one was in there, went to the second car & no one was in there as well. I’m like a WTF & after that the fire department showed up & then the police & EMS.

Yes, both for myself and for others.

The most recent for others was when I saw a bad car accident happen.

The most recent for myself was when an ex came to my house uninvited and was banging on my door so hard that it seemed like he might break the door down. He was there for over 30 minutes and refused to leave.

A few times but, in most cases, it wasn't an emergency. I was just trying to call the fuzz for help with something and ALWAYS get shunted to 911!! At that point, I have to tell them it's NOT an emergency, I just needed a little help from the cops. I don't know why they can't make another number like that for non-emergencies like, 822

I voted no but actually I just remembered that this old lady fell down on the rocks at the beach and got hurt. I called 911 and watched as the ambulance drove past the dirt road to the the beach twice. I had to run up the street and flag them down.

Yes. My family and I got home from visiting my parents and our duplex smelled like chlorine and the carbon monoxide alarm was going off. The fire department came by ventilated both sides of the property.

Yes, for myself and others. I've been in a few traffic accidents, none my fault, and called 911 to summon police. One time, there was a guy walking in the road and I called 911 to get him help.

Yes, I've called for my brother before when he was having a medical emergency. They arrived quickly and he's okay, thankfully.

A few times for car accidents and once for a hit and run….. called 911 while following the asswipe / speaking with the dispatcher until a police car met / took over / arrested them. No surprise they had been drinking alcohol.
