NOTE: At 3:59 PM, shortly before the music video above was removed from YouTube.com STATter911.com received the following comment:
Hello everyone,
Well I come to you again but this time with bad news; I was contacted by some Union reps and in the light of all the politics going on currently involving people trying to attack our pensions, I have been asked to remove this video from YouTube. Sorry this sucks but it's the world we live in and I don't want to give any of these politicians any ammo to take what we've worked so hard for. Again thank you so much for watching and enjoying, you can view my other videos on my YouTube Channel at fb5786, and look for more coming your way.
Thank you,
Brent
Brent also provided his explanation in the video below:
MUCH EARLIER -
My Knee Hurts Now, Diary of a Mad Firefighter, from Plugs and Hoses Records was uploaded to YouTube on Saturday and was made for a department banquet. It is described this way:
The typical 911 call that comes in after midnight about something that has been bothering the person for a month or so. It never fails and no matter how minor it is they always want to go to the hospital and they absolutely can not drive themselves.

This is great! Well done!
I love this. It is so wonderful pun on words.
I love this video. You guys that have problems with it need to have a sense of humor. Some times life throws you a laugh. Enjoy. This is only a play on a song. I play taxes and people just like her abuse the system daily. Love the video, get a life. Love all that you guys do for our citizens.
Wonderful video and nothing but the truth!
Great Video! So true, they always call after mid night with silly complaints. Keep up the good work. Sincerely, your friends from Smyrna Fire Dept. (TN)
Awesome video!! They can make frivolous calls but you can't make a truthful song for fun!!! We need to take America back!!! I love this video!!!!
If this song does not say it, I dont know what does. It is true we get the dumbest
calls from people after midnight.
Just FYI, go check out FDCares.com………would be very enlightening.
I LOL every time I see thr video. I’ve been a member of a volunteer reascue squad for> 15 years. We are having out 75 year this year. I’d love to do something like this for our banquet dinner.
That rocks! The perfect metaphor from the original customer service fire department…maybe that can finally dispell the myth of customer service with that video – they are citizens, not customers, and have responsibilities. If you want customer service go to Target or Home Depot!!!
you need to do a Christmas “frequent flyer” video!!!
