Fire service express disbelief after caller confuses moon for fire
The person rang up saying they could see a "huge fire" outside their window
Is it a bird, is it a plane, is it a fire? No, it's the moon!
The Devon and Somerset Fire Service have expressed their disbelief, after someone rang them up last night (05/11) thinking the moon was a fire.
In a tweet shared during the evening on what was Bonfire Night, the service revealed the caller claimed they could see a "huge fire that is getting bigger", before suddenly realising their error.
The service described it as their favourite call of the night, sharing it along with the hashtag, #youcouldntmakeitup.
It's gained several replies on social media, with one person saying the tape of the call should be released.
We can't deny we'd like to hear it.
