What’s your most ridiculous/comical/unnecessary callout been? Have a few stories from uni involving less than impressed firefighters.

I’ve been a (mainly) fully functional adult for a while now. These stories stem from at least 12 years ago. But the fire engine was a common sight on campus. My housemate got really pissed, decided to cook some sausages and then fell asleep. Put the kitchen out of action for a couple of months. Then there was the girl from a few houses down whose mum came to visit - they wanted to have a BBQ but it was raining, so they set it up in the kitchen sink. Plus countless other false alarms from smoking where we shouldn’t, setting of extinguishers and hitting alarm buttons etc etc etc.

I’m pretty sure we were made to stand out in the cold for a while to try to knock some sense into us. Also, was there any truth in the threat of being charged by the fire service for false callouts?

Thanks for your hard work in keeping us clueless schmucks safe and fire free!
