Okay every once in awhile I remember why I decided to do this job, to protect people. some times that includes protecting them from themselves! I ran a call today that made it hard to keep a straight face. I arrived at this persons residence and was met at the door by the daughter (12yoa) who stated that her dad was trying to fix the heater and was stuck.... behind it! This was a central heat and air unit in the hallway he was trying to repair the duct and fell off the step ladder forward hence behind the unit! he had told his daughter to call for help, he didn't expect the police.... with the help of the nice firemen we were able to get him loose with just a few minor scratches but he gets to tell the nieghbors why all the emergency vehicles were there! I couldn't do anything to help the his pride however. It's nice not to have every call be a bad one!
