Paramedics Called to Breathe Life Into TV

LONDON (Reuters) - British paramedics answering an emergency call for help arrived to find a distraught family and a
broken television, the ambulance service said on Tuesday.

``The occupants were complaining that their TV had broken down,'' said a spokeswoman for West Midlands Ambulance
Service.

The family from Wolverhampton, in central England, made their plea for help on Sunday afternoon by dialing ``999'',
usually reserved for fire, police or medical emergencies.

``This is obviously a misuse of the ambulance service. The ambulance might have been required for a genuine emergency,''
said the spokeswoman. ``The family concerned seem to have misunderstood the 999 service.''
