I was at home with my 1 year old when, all of a sudden, I hear a crazy alarm go off and a recorded…read morerobot voice telling me that there is a dangerously high level of carbon monoxide in the house and to leave the premises immediately! So, what did I do? I grabbed my kid and my phone, dialed 911, and ran the f*#& outta there! The 911 dispatcher sent the call to the Fire Department. As I was waiting on my front lawn, I started to get nervous. I kept checking my kid, but he seemed fine. I kept checking my own pulse, but it was racing from the sprint I just ran and the anxiety taking over. I knew carbon monoxide was odorless and colorless. Had we been breathing in that stuff for hours? For days? Was my new headache and nausea from the killer fumes? Exactly when was I going to pass out and/or die? All the horrible scenarios raced through my head and I started to prepare myself for the worst. Within minutes, the fire department rolled up. No sirens. No excitement. Just 4 burly firemen jumped out and casually went inside. I waited outside, anxious to hear just how bad it was. About a minute later, one of the guys came out and told me to come inside. "Ma'am", he said, "your alarm battery is dead, that's why the alarm went off". WTF? No regular warning? No beeping, like in normal smoke detectors? Just a crazy robot voice telling me to leave the premises or I might die!!! I apologized to the 4 firemen, but they were very cool about it. They even changed my batteries for me. I kidded that I know who to call the next time I need some batteries changed, but I don't think they appreciated the joke. They played with my kid until one of their badges poked him and he started to cry. Then they gave my kid a fireman sticker and took off. The Costa Mesa Fire Department. Good people who are there to fight fires and save lives. Just don't call them when you need to change a battery.

In Los Angeles, LAFD always answered requests for neighborhood assist. Badge 107 replied "we are not LAFD we don't do neighborhood assist". That means Costa Mesa Fire Department does not care if there are members within their community who are disabled and in need of help and completely defeseless. They DO NOT CARE to help disabled. The attitude of badge 107 made it clear he considered disabled people and helping disabled people to be beneath him and a completely worthless task. he refused to give his name and only gave his badge number but I would like to find out who this man is and teach him that disabled citizens are people too!

While riding my motorcycle, I got a flat on my rear tire. I was in the carpool lane, and…read morethankfully, there was enough space for me to pull over to the right side of the lane - though it was still dangerous. An officer on the opposite side of the freeway noticed me from a distance and took the time to stop in the middle of the carpool lane to assure me that he would circle around and clear traffic so I could safely move my motorcycle to the right-hand shoulder. About five minutes later, he stopped the entire incoming 57 freeway traffic to let me do just that. The officer stayed with me as long as he could, until he received another call. He truly went out of his way to make sure I was safe, and I'm incredibly grateful for that. I made sure to thank him in person and told him I'd leave a positive review for whatever it's worth. So here it is: Thank you, Officer Rodriguez #23073. God bless you!

Anytime we needed advice, guidance, or assistance, he welcomed us with open arms and never hesitated to help. Even though I ultimately did not move forward with the process, I truly appreciate all of his efforts, dedication, and support. He made a positive impact, and I'm grateful for everything he's done.

I explained that traffic was moving at about 5 mph, that I was following the flow of traffic, and that I had changed lanes before the solid white line because no one was allowing me to merge. He responded that he could not hear me. Later, I informed him that my driver's license still showed my old address because I had recently moved to Orange County. He immediately replied that I needed to update my address. This left me confused. If you could hear and respond to my comment about my address, why couldn't you hear my explanation regarding the lane change? I left the interaction feeling that my side of the story was not fully considered. I respect law enforcement and understand the importance of traffic safety, but I believe drivers should be given a fair opportunity to explain their perspective and feel heard during an interaction.
