Residential structure fire! Smoke pouring off a house roof! I respond to the scene with the fire department and we find the
house, wet from the night’s rain, catching the early morning sun just right that steam is rising from it terrifically…looking like
smoke….uh…no actual fire involved. Never mind. We ain’t even mad… it was the best resolution to a house fire call.

Jordan was off his meds. Jordan was in his mid-20’s, and he was schizophrenic. He’d walk around town, real slowly. When the
voices in his head got too loud, he’d stop walking and just..listen..to..them. This looked like him frozen on a sidewalk, with a
very blank look on his face. It was not uncommon to see him out in public, frozen like a statue, for 5, 10, 15 minutes at a
time…several times a week. Sometimes the voices would tell him to take his clothes off, and then the police would be called.
And we’d haul him off, and our department behavioral health navigator specialist would get involved and make sure his family
kept him on his meds.

Freak out mom Karen at a school bus stop reported getting in a yelling match with the school bus driver; she lost when the bus
driver closed the doors on her and knocked her backward. When I talked to the school bus driver he had a different version; it
started when he insisted that her little angel, after being allowed back to school after getting expelled, was directed by the school
bus driver to sit up in the front where an eye could be kept on him. Mom insisted he could sit in the back. Bus driver told her
that he was in charge, and the kid was going to sit up front. When Karen didn’t get her way she threw her cup of coffee at the
bus driver and then she fell backward, not anywhere near the bus. Freakout mom didn’t know that every school bus had like 5
security cameras that recorded everything, and totally confirmed the drivers’ version that she had not been knocked back by the
doors. Oh and the coffee throwing was recorded, too.

Car accident: the victim driver who got hit was relatively unscathed, but marveling about how his watch got blown off his wrist;
the band broke completely apart. My anwer: The steering wheel airbag deployment caused it.
