For why?

When I was a kid I remember my dad getting so pissed off that all of the traffic lights were out on Airline that he picked up the gigantic bag phone and called 911 to let them know.
I have only called once; when I found a half naked toddler in the road.

Yes, medical emergency. I can't say enough good things about EMS.

Yes, twice, when I found my parents at their respective homes near death.

ETA: Also once when I found a homeless guy down along the roadside in a rural part of La.

I used to use it when I first got my phone to report drivers in BR that ran red lights and didn't use turn signals.

After I got the next phone bill, I had to stop.

Three times:
1. My house was on fire when I was a teenager.
2. I came up on a bad car wreck.
3. There was a riot at my place of employment. (I teach in Gangland, USA).

I just remembered something. I was 13 and went to visit some cousins in the mobile area, we went to the pier. Stupid 7year old cousin picks up the pay phone, dials 911 and says "help help someone's drowning!" And hung up. a few min later the whole brigade shows up. He starts laughing and tells his mom it's because "he did a prank call". We quietly left then scene and when we got back to their house she BEAT HIS arse. Big time. Borderline abuse

Yes. Once because my neighbor's home was struck by lightening. I've called the non-emergency BRPD line several times for random shite that needed their attention but wasn't super urgent.

2. When second child did the same & started turning blue. Really? WTF?
3. Wreck on highway.

Is 911 a joke in your town?

Yep. Called when my mother had a massive heart attack from her chemo treatment. Seemed like an eternity for EMS to show up. She was running her bath water one minute and the next she was gone. I'll never forget the emotions that ran through me seeing that go down in front of me with my stepdad panicking trying to get help.

Last week. Suspicious vehicle with two people in it, lights off, just sitting on the side of the construction entrance road to our community.

Witnessed a fatal wreck on I12. Called a second time cause it seemed like it took forever for them to get there and this poor lady was screaming the whole time. It was actually less than 10 minutes but felt like an hour.
