We had some tornados come through this spring. Several stations were dispatched and put on stand by for damage control and clean up. (several houses had been severely damaged) About 2 or 3 hours after crews being dispatched out we hear over Fire Control:
Station 19: "Station 19 to 1903"
1903: "Station 19 go ahead"
Station 19: "1903 what's your ETA on return to the station?"
1903: "Undetermined at this time"
Station 19: "when you are en route, would you mind picking me up some cigarettes?"
Now this continues back and forth for about 2 min.
Fire Control: "Fire Control to Station 19"
Station 19: "Go ahead"
Fire Control: "Be advised, this is what cell phones are made for"
Silence.
