I don't think our 911 is that bad. Mainly because they are bored out of their skulls so they pick up on the first ring....excited to do something.

You should install an especially loud alarm in your house and - if you ever have a 911 emergency - you can press the button and let everyone else in the neighborhood call them! I should forward your letter to the major and the governor. ;)<BR/><BR/>"Come visit Maine, just don't have any emergencies, folks!"chattypatrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15928593117804100052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31019990.post-45753322835743519062008-12-30T21:35:00.000-06:002008-12-30T21:35:00.000-06:00Wait, they actually all fell through the ice while you were watching? Or was that a what-if scenario?<BR/><BR/>Either way, horrible that 911 put you on hold.Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17100746061554733157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31019990.post-50062085975392537682008-12-30T20:10:00.000-06:002008-12-30T20:10:00.000-06:00There's some sort of Weird Experiences Cloud following you around.

He's got an ax! I'll save you, Lisa! [tries to walk on his leg, falls back] Uh, I'll save you by calling the police. [dials 911]<BR/><BR/>Voice: Hello, and welcome to the Springfield Police Department Rescu-Fone[tm]. If you know the name of the felony being committed, press one. To choose from a list of felonies, press two. If you are being murdered or calling from a rotary phone, please stay on the line.<BR/><BR/>Bart: [growls, punches some numbers] <BR/><BR/>Voice: You have selected regicide. If you know the name of the king or queen being murdered, press one.</I><BR/><BR/>What town in Maine o you live in? Springfield?Glaven Q.

People call the police/ambulance and nobody shows up, or they take their time cuz they dont think its serious, etc. But being put on hold is pretty crazy. What if you were calling because you had only a minute to live and were going to make a dying confession? Or reveal the name of your killer? Guess all that fun (Lifetime Movie) stuff wouldnt happen in your town!lifestudenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07021707900438487888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31019990.post-65679919688405426902008-12-30T15:28:00.000-06:002008-12-30T15:28:00.000-06:00MAINE. <BR/><BR/>Nothing is quick in Maine.Katyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14522013200880591615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31019990.post-60046352922205533792008-12-30T15:25:00.000-06:002008-12-30T15:25:00.000-06:00too many stories about kids on ice have tragic endings...good thing you saw them ,but nuts about their 911 response...if they can call it response!Grandmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14443663543779195892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31019990.post-21268727056016512502008-12-30T14:30:00.000-06:002008-12-30T14:30:00.000-06:00Oh my gosh! that is honestly the worst story!?

Open water near the bridge, and a few feet away there are people running around on the thin ice. Luckily it's only a few feet deep there.<BR/>I never heard of being put on hold when calling 911. That's nuts!Cherylhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08815105600814299694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31019990.post-69936193284214018992008-12-30T11:43:00.000-06:002008-12-30T11:43:00.000-06:00Are you serious!?
