This
really happened, back when we had our old brick cellphone that would actually work up on top of the ridges. I called the non-emergency dispatch number to report what
looked like smoke on a big fire from a few days back.
The 911 operator asked me what was my address. I said "I'm on horseback up in the middle of <redacted> ranch."
So she paged out the FD saying that a caller reported seeing smoke from "Horseback Road."
(it was actually just a plume of ash from a dust devil, but we were all still pretty nervous after losing 70+ homes)
