The New 911 System Is Messed up.
Adam Kenny

I had a fire at my house about a year and two months ago. I had been burning some grass at the time. The wind picked up and the fire caught on to some trees and then on to the barn. I called the fire department when the fire spread to the trees because I knew it was out of my control.

Fifteen minutes passed by and still no fire department. I called them again and they said that they were having trouble reaching the firemen. Apparently the firemen were getting a weird sound over their pagers.

I had called them again and they told me that the firemen were on their way. They went out to Murray Corner first. Then they arrived ten minutes after. One barn was burnt and one car was on fire. They were putting water in the tub and half of the water went on the ground. Instead of watering the house down, they tried to put the barn out.

Everyone told the fire department that they should have stayed home, because two barns, three cars and the house had all burnt. I got things out of the house before it caught on fire.

The house did not burn to the ground but the fire went up the eaves of the house and burnt my room and the attic. I blame the new 911 system and the fire department because the system screwed up. The system should have stayed the way it was and then my family would still have what burned in the fire.
