I think it will be a long time before his buddies let him forget this one.
I could do without the commentary but this is a great video, you would think it was a SNL skit but it is instead Dallas' finest.

He'll never live that one down. His nickname forever more might be "fireman." Poor guy.

We'll just call him "Buster" 'cause my toy poodle has the "Alarmed" name already. He needs to relax

If he pays for the window repairs and cleanup out of his own pocket, that would make it a good learning experience.

Much as I like razzin' Dallas, actually... that's Fort Worth... and the film clip is from one of the first COPS visits to Cowtown.

I remember when that aired the first time. I was embarrassed for the guy. Right intentions, wrong address. Sucks for him it was caught on TV!!!

Yes, he paid dearly for that, for quite a long time! (I was a street medic in Fort Worth at the time that show was taped and aired..)

Well, atleast the lady understood and thanked him. I sure wouldn't want to pay for those windows though.

Hahaha. Luckily the lady was nice about the whole situation. I'm sure he never got the end of that!

My question is why did he keep hammering the windows? Was it necessary to break every little one?

Fires need oxygen to burn. More holes and bigger holes provide extra oxygen.

But it prevents flashes from happening due to a sudden influx of oxygen

Many years ago I was with a volunteer fire department. A neighbor had called in that the house across the street was on fire and she could see the flames. We rolled up, connected the hoses and away we go. You could see flames flickering through the curtains upstairs. No one came to the door so we knocked it down, drug the hose upstairs and opened the bedroom door only to find a couple with A LOT of candles burning doing what couples do. Not sure who was more embarrassed us or them.
