LONDON, Dec. 16 (UPI) — The London Fire Brigade is celebrating the “12 Days of Christmas” by tweeting non-emergency calls including a man with rings stuck on his penis.
The brigade is using the “#12DaysXmas” hashtag on Twitter to share details of non-emergency calls to the emergency 999 number that share a “festive theme.”
“It’s a bit of festive fun, but the message is serious — don’t call 999 unless it’s a genuine emergency,” Director of Operations Dave Brown said.
“You wouldn’t believe some of the incidents crews are called out to, including a woman who asked if firefighters could warm her baby’s milk up and several people with rings stuck on their genitals,” he said. “We are also keen to reduce the number of animals firefighters are called to rescue and want people to call the RSPCA if they see an animal stuck, not 999.”
Several of the tweets relate to the “12 Days of Christmas” carol.
“Nearly 5 penis rings rescues a year. Doesn’t fit don’t force it,” the brigade tweeted, with a follow-up on the subject tying such rescues to the “five golden rings” from the song.
“Ladies stopped dancing by slippery floor is not a 999 call,” another tweet reads.
“Man called 999 to recite the Lord’s Prayer to us #10LordsaLeaping,” the department tweeted.
“Can you believe a woman once called for us to warm her baby’s milk!” a tweet read.
