I'm an emt/firefighter. I've gone in places during the day. With the lights on. Where the roaches were so bad that you could still see a hundred of them. Including the ones that fall from the ceiling onto you.
At that point, you might as well give up the rescue, call everyone back and seal the poor soul inside. ๐
Firefighter? Those are the type of cockroach-condemned places that are best burnt down. I'm not kidding. Were you there to burn the place down?
It's usually a med call for something that isn't an emergency situation, but something ignored/abused so long that they need to see a doctor, but no one there has a car so they dial 911 for an ambulance ride.
