Watch: Fire department’s hilarious PSA on what 911 is for

The Tuscaloosa Fire and Rescue Department is at it again — this time they’re teaching residents about when they should call 911 if they have an emergency

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Firefighters in Alabama took a humorous approach to teaching residents about when to call 911.

AL.com reported that the Tuscaloosa Fire and Rescue Department, known for their hilarious ‘Pull to the Right’ PSA videos, is at it again with a video to remind residents to not call 911 for non-emergencies.

“What we try to do is make sure that, number one, when people call 911 (they know) we are going to send somebody, and we want them to call 911 if they have an emergency,” Fire Chief Alan Martin said.

If they have a non-emergency, residents should call a non-emergency number and expect appropriate response, he added.

Their newest video, which shows a series of problems that are not appropriate for 911, features Lt. George Harbin in all of the roles.

“He is a little bit of a ham,” Chief Martin said.
