Not A Good Reason To Call 911
We all have emergencies, but calling emergency for fast food delivery is not one of them. A 5 year old boy from Wyoming, Michigan did just that.
Iziah Hall used a deactivated cell phone last Sunday to dial the only number he could, connecting him to an emergency responder. When Sara Kuberski answered the call, Hall asked for one thing.
“Can you bring me McDonald’s?,” the boy asked.
Kuberski told Hall she couldn’t, but she reported the call to Wyoming police officer Dan Patterson.
“I was laughing to myself… 5-year-old calls dispatch and orders McDonald’s,” Patterson told WZZM.
The Federal Communications Commission advises individuals to check phone settings on older phones to determine if the 911 dial feature can be turned off.
When asked about his special delivery, Hall said he thought it was “funny,” but his grandmother said he now understands what an emergency is and won’t make such a call for McDonald’s again.
