Prius Attacks Man in Parking Lot

News story

Some people are just lucky I guess. This man gets out of his Prius which is beeping/cussing at him. Mostly likely, that is because he is getting out of the car, and it is still in REVERSE. Something about those electric cars seem to confuse older people when they don't hear the engine running.

Anyway, the older gentleman simply stepped out and the car went to dragging him until it ran into another car. Only problem was that the car door was completely bent forward on his car until it basically touched his front bumper, and it was sitting on his chest.

We arrived to find two bony legs sticking out from between the cars, and the old guy definitely pinned with that car door on his chest. We attempted to move his legs and found that his front tire was sitting on his pants so that his leg was pinned.

We quickly jacked the car up (releasing the pant leg and the weight from his chest). He then brushed himself off and decided he was fine!

Spooky Fire

On a run the other night were the caller was very specific; the flames were about 10 feet high and that was a really big fire in that backyard across the railroad tracks. So we got in our gear, turned on the lights and siren, and got ready for some hero like action.

In the neighborhood where the fire was reported, all was quiet. We slowed down, rolled the windows down to smell for smoke, and started searching. No smoke was wafting on the evening air, and one of the guys comments, "we should be smelling or seeing something by now!" After all, ten foot of flames is hard to hide on a dark evening.

Finally at the described address we sat - wondering where to look next. Then it hit me! The inflated Halloween ghosts decorations in the yard were well lit, waving in the light breeze, and...were about ten feet tall.
