yes it would...
to elaborate on my post in the Saturday thread...
I come back from Smyrna from a amateur radio meeting.
I get back into my county, then to city limits.... I role up on a MVA elder lady and her husband missed a turnoff and landed in a concrete steel culvert and couldn't move.
I asked if they had called anyone. No. asked if they had a wrecker enroute "we're looking for our cards" they had three tow companies cards between the 2 of them.
normally in my car I leave the red LEDs in the back glass, and the cannons set to red amber. since I was sitting on the edge of a 5 lane highway I turn on all the ambers as well as the reds.
I get on city freq and call in a 1 vehicle 10-45 driver requests no report, will need traffic assist when 10-48 arrives..... dispatched advises 10-4 calls a unit and he says "that's a county call"
city calls county dispatch on phone. 3 minutes later county dispatch gives out right call, wrong location, asks deputies if they want to notify THP (highway patrol)
so....
I go direct with deputy...
845 - 122. I called this in to city, complaintent requests no report, pull out only will need traffic assist we are at white side rd and 231.
122 "10-4, 388 did you copy direct, no THP needed"
388 "10 -4"
5 minutes later...
122- 388 im at whiteside and 41a I don't see any vehicles. are sure this is the location...
388 "10-4 sir that's what city advised...."
122 "ok ill check whiteside at 231south"
in the meantime I get a phone call from my friend on the city PD.
"Hey man I just drove by everything ok?"
gave him the sit rep
"ok man I got to take some paperwork to the hospital ill swing by on my way back"
I was in the citys "jurisdiction" but its only on the 5 lane highway... since she was in a ditch it was a county call... :crazy:
6 minutes later...
122 - 388 "road way must be clear there are no vehicles here...."
so I sat there with the folks till the wrecker showed up about 5 minutes later fortunately, we didn't need to shut a lane down and he got the truck off the culvert. wrecker driver asked me if we needed LEO, I told him they don't want a report and its your call, plus I called them out here 20 minutes ago and you beat them here because they dont know where whiteside and 231 next to the BP (gas station) is..........
now I plainly told 2 different dispatchers where we were.
but to their "credit" in thi town/county we have
whiteside rd x2
whiteside dr
whiteside hill rd
and a whiteside market.
just makes you wonder what dumbass names these roads.......
