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)

Yeah ,,it's funny as a joke ,,but for real is not what you would like to hear from a Emergency Operator

Our county dispatch/911 deserves its own joke thread!
