It is abused most definitely. I run legit calls 50% of the time but 50% of them are calls where people thing a sore neck from a carvereck is worth big bucks, call 911 get seen faster, no insurance ER will take care of you no matter what. But yes it is abused.
First off why would you be calling for an explosion, this does send red flags for me so I will not be answering that question. But as for the first one, we will still respond due to you may not have completely extinguished.
Many things from different hose lauouts, compartment layouts. So have special requirements for medical equipment just depends.
