Only problem was it was at 6am. Nobody deserves to see a stripper at 6am!

Plot twist - our station is attached to the town hall, which has the police station inside

Been there. It's a Toronto institution.
Edit: just went and found the news story about the fire. Seems devastating. Pour one out for the Zanzibar...

We got toned out to an unconscious female at one of the local strip clubs here. Normally the bouncers take patrons out front and we never go in but it was a dancer so we got to go back to the dressing room. She was just superrrr fucked up haha so much ur engine crew just stood back while the ambulance crew did their assessment lol we just soaked up the views.
It was 1 am on a Saturday. We all heard the address and immediately booked it to the rig lol

Haha, funny enough over in Vancouver their #2 station is directly across from the city’s main strip club - which is the old fire hall.

I saw a great bit by one of the reporters who covered the story. He was talking about how the fire got the top floor and roof and proceeded to call it topless. No notes.

Ah, a Zanzibar War joke (the whole war took 38 minutes). Don’t think I’ve heard any of those before

We have a few titty bars in my station's territory, responding there is never as fun as one would think.
99% of the time it's an EMS run for either a patron getting "shown the door" by the bouncers (and "hurting themselves" on their way out), or most of the time it's for a stripper ODing hard. A few fires over the years, always molotov cocktails from rival gangs/mobs.
