Strange Calls...

I'm notorious for getting crazy calls at crazy hours of the day and night, for example I've received calls from the jail house from people I didn't know asking me to bail them out because they miss dialed the number and it was their one phone call. I've gotten calls from people telling me to be sure to pick up the milk for the baby, only for them to realize they've dialed the wrong number. I've had lots of strange calls, but the call I received lastnight takes the cake, read further to find out what I mean...

It's almost 5 am when my cell phone begins ringing (the ringtone tells me its my fiance') this is the conversation that took place


Me: Hello
B: I think we lost the truck
Me: What....
B: I think we just lost our truck
Me: What to do you mean you think we just lost the truck...are you high
B: My job's on fire
Me: What... your job's on fire, are you kidding me
B: No I'm serious, it's blazing their's cops here and fire fighters, hold on
(Officer's voice heard)
B: Hold on, I need to call you back, they need me to get this truck out of the way

(phone rings)

Me: Are you ok
B: Yeah, I moved our truck, it was hot as hell
Me: Are you gonna be able to drive or do I need to send someone to get you
B: No I'll drive home (loud explosion is heard)
Me: OMG What was that.... are you there
B: Shit, yeah it was chemicals blowing up, this place is a total loss, hold on
(Officer's voice heard)
B: I got to get off here, I'll call you before I leave to let you know I'm on my way home
Me: Wait, what do you got to do
B: They need us to fill our trucks up with water, the fire trucks are out


Ok so he makes it home, and has pictures on his phone, he was right the total place was a loss, and when I asked why the fire trucks had no water he just laughed and said he didn't know, but explained that they had to go over to a water station fill up their diesel trucks with fresh water then push some buttons anyways, it shoots the water back out of the tank and extinguishes the fire. My fiance' drives for an oil company, and according to what they have been told, the fire was caused by a diesel that had been in the workshop and the chemicals in the truck became over heated and caught fire. There were no lives lost, and everyone still has to go back to work.
So that's it, what's the craziest call you've ever gotten...
