So he said no. And homeowner came down and actually thanked them and everything. So everything was fine. And the ride back to the station for him was just awful. And within an hour, he was called in to see his supervisor. And it was a bit like, read this, you got it wrong. And he was like, no, with all due respect, I knew that we didn't have any standing and we shouldn't have gone in.

And he said to me, you know, his childhood stutter came back. But he knew in this job, it was going to be difficult and he was going to be asked to do some things that weren't right.
