Contractors burning brush on a red flag day?
Seriously?
Right across and just barely down the road from home.
Okay, so I called our county seat farm burg's Fire Department non-emergency number & they said that's outside city limits on County land, so call the 911 number because that is a County operation.
I did ...
And got Greene County's 911.
(That's Springfield, a 3 hour drive from here).Where ...
The guy said AT&T is having issues and the 911 system is all screwed up.
He gave me office number for Cooper County dispatch.
And ..
I give up, my voice is a mess today, my defective body is desperately trying to send me to the ER, and I don't have the energy to make more calls.
