And you would know they had no reason because? As a firefighter, I suppose you've never been in your firetruck responding to a call and had the call cancelled either. I guess next time I see a fire truck do that, I'll just assume they are playing around.
If Im responding to a back up call, which is different then an assistance request. it is routine to do that. If units gets there prior to my arrival, then I may quit responding and go routine. To the unknowing, it looks like I just went thru the intersection and then pulled into starbucks or whatever.
