E-Comm’s 911 dispatchers have released their top ten examples of calls that unnecessarily tied-up emergency lines in 2016.
Spokesperson Jasmine Bradley says any time a 911 line is taken up for a reason that does not require immediate action from emergency services, lives could be put at risk.
Examples of calls received by 911 dispatchers include a call about a big spider in a bathroom, complaints that someone couldn’t get into a nightclub, calls about teenagers refusing to do chores, and a request for a ladder to get a soccer ball off a roof.
