Have you ever wondered what really happens on the other end of a 9-1-1 call? Most calls involve real emergencies, urgent crises, and life-changing situations.
But then... there are the other calls.
The calls dispatchers talk about during break.
The ones that make you laugh, cringe, or question the basic logic of humanity.
The ones that prove real life can be far stranger-and much funnier-than fiction.
This book takes you behind the scenes inside the 9-1-1 dispatch center, where trained call-takers balance genuine lifesaving work with moments of pure absurdity. Through dramatized true-to-life conversations, you'll experience the unexpected, the chaotic, and the unforgettable callers who dial 9-1-1 for reasons no one could have ever anticipated.
Some people call 9-1-1 for help.
Others call because they lost a chicken nugget, suspect their cat saw a ghost, or can't find the TV remote.
And through it all, dispatchers remain calm, patient, and professional-even when the situation is anything but.
This book is a humorous, dramatic, and eye-opening look at the calls that definitely were not emergencies... but absolutely deserved to be remembered.
