re: #68 BeachDem

Well, this is just fucking sad—

A Florida man attempting to get local firefighters to save his home — which was ablaze four houses away — was rebuffed at the firehouse door and told to call 911 instead, reports the Sun Sentinel.

Neville Morrison, 67, of Plantation, said he ran bare-footed to the station down the street from his home where he was met by a emergency medical technician who insisted he call 911 by phone and not report the fire in person.

“I said, ‘I have no phone,’” Morrison recalled. “I said, ‘You can see the blaze coming out of the roof of my house.’ He told me twice to call 911, and then he closed the door with me standing outside.”
