Talk:firecall

Revived and cited. Okay to remove rfv? Also added two defs from google hits. DAVilla 17:55, 24 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Intriguing. I can't understand the 2nd def. Does anyone else?  I was about to suggest that the first two senses were non-UK, but I see the OED has two UK cites for sense 1 from 1897 & 1906, so perhaps it's my ignorance. --Eng in ear 15:35, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I haven't researched it and I've never heard it used in this way, but having worked in emergency services for many years, I think it's talking about being 'on-call' or in this case, 'on-firecall' - where one would respond to the scene of the fire if a firecall was issued. --Versageek 16:00, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks, that's what I meant-ed. Please do change or delete it if incorrect. DAVilla 14:53, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
