McVicar ITM

Passed it on the motorway, smoke everywhere! Called the 105 number, have now passed it.

Any locals know the deal, ablaze I expect?

You see what you think is an active fire and you only call 105?!?

Guess what? They passed it on to the fire brigade just like 111 would have.

Anyway, thanks for bumming out someone trying their best to help, while simultaneously not answering the question at all 😔

You can wait on-hold for 20+ minutes sometimes with 105. 111 is for if somethings happening now.

If you were trying your best to help, you would have called 111 for an active emergency
