A Cincinnati mom recently found herself in the middle of a small army of first responders after she called the non-emergency line for a mysterious smell. Toria Cannon’s resulting TikTok story has since racked up 1.8 million views. The on-screen text of her video captures the vibe perfectly, noting, “Welp. The firefighters, police officer and paramedics had a good laugh.”
Toria explained in her video, “So I just called the fire department, like the non emergent line, because something smelled in my house… like, like you left a pot on the stove with water in it and the water all evaporated, and then the pot burned. Like that’s the smell I smelled. The whole fire department comes out, EMT, or the paramedics, like they bring the ambulance, everybody. I was like, I didn’t realize they brought the whole shebang, but I understand why they do it.”
