Much About Nothing

Some days are just weird in theme of the calls we run. Last shift it was real fires with an appliance fire in the morning and a house fire that we fought for about 6 hours all afternoon. Then along come today with so much nothing. Not so much that we did not run calls, but in the four that we ran for the shift, not one required any real fire or medical skills.

Call#1 - dead guy, long history of seizures and drinking too much, having died sometime during the night, it was not much a code 3 response was going to impact the end result.
Call#2 - lady that had the flu, was being treated by a doctor for same, but was now tired of being sick after a few days. She was out of bed, dressed, and in general looked and acted fine, but did complain of being tired.
Call#3 - medical alarm - the famous "I have fallen and I can't get up" emergency button system that sent us dashing into an old ladies house once again to surprise her, since she had accidentally pushed the magic button that she wore on a string around her neck.
Call#4 - Car Vs Bike accident -Ok, finally we got something here...no wait, everybody left the scene before we even went enroute. Oh, and the caller heard the "accident" but did not actually see what happened.

Well, at least we were ready in case someone had a REAL emergency....
