Seriously? Unless a plane had just crashed on the mall I find this hard to believe
( 911 dispatcher for another jurisdiction that’s not DC)

Oof this scares me
That’s terrifying. I called 911 when my DH was having a massive heart attack. They answered right away, paramedics were at our house in about 6-7 minutes. Saved his life. If I had to be on hold first he wouldn’t be here today.

First time ever??
I have called for a car I saw crash on the side of the highway, a fistfight outside of a bar, my neighbors non English speaking nanny telling me worriedly that the house smelled like gas/eggs, once when a man was passed out drunk on my porch, once when I saw a homeless man attacking a woman walking down the sidewalk, and once when my father was having chest pains.
I didn’t think any of this was particularly AMA worthy and now I’m a little embarrassed to even be typing it all out , sorry

Good for you, but this isn't particularly interesting.

I’ve called 911 many, many times. But I’m not gonna do an AMA, sorry.

What was the call for?
I've called 911 twice (to report a fire on a busy roadside, and for a man experiencing some kind of episode in the middle of a busy intersection). I've called the non-emergency number about 5 times.
-42
