VIDEO - Tuscaloosa Fire & Rescue is taking a humorous approach to teaching residents about public safety.
In its latest effort, the department created a silly video to remind residents not to call 911 for non-emergencies.
"What we try to do is make sure that No. 1 when people call 911 (they know) we are going to send somebody, and we want them to call 911 if they have an emergency," Fire Chief Alan Martin said.
If they have a non-emergency, residents should call a non-emergency number and expect appropriate response, he added.
The video posted to Tuscaloosa Fire & Rescue's Facebook page today, features Fire Lt. George Harbin in all of the roles.
"He is a little bit of a ham," Martin said.
