Do you call 911 when there is a broken light bulb?
You could be fined if you call 911 about a broken light bulb !The 911 service is only to be used for emergency situations! Now, let's say there are railroad tracks in your town and you notice the gate and flashing lights are broken at a railroad crossing. You should report that first to prevent a train-vehicle collision and second so the police can notify the railroad company and perhaps delay trains until it is fixed.If you notice a street light is burnt out, wait until daytime and call the Street Department in your city.But if the broken or burnt out light bulb is at your house, call your mom, dad, aunt, uncle, boyfriend... but not 911.
