Siren king
Today, I found out that my dog likes to howl when he hears sirens. I live next to the fire station. FML

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Today, I found out that the 2 loud "firework booms" I heard were actually a guy shooting his dog on the unfinished road behind my house. FML

Today, while trying to sleep, I kept hearing this groan/scream for help for about an hour. I decided to call 911 to send someone to investigate. Police came, I received a $100 parking fine and another citation for improper use of 911. The noise? Just a dog howling. FML

Today, my dog was barking at a squirrel in the yard. I opened the door to let him chase the squirrel. I went to look at the dead squirrel and found out it was the neighbor's chihuahua. FML

Alert!
Today, I was woken up by my neighbour's dog losing its mind, and I remembered reading a story about someone ignoring a dog and later finding out that their car had been stolen. Paranoid, I went outside to check on mine. Nope. Just the damn dog barking at one thirty in the morning. FML

Today, I finally got the hearing aids that I've needed for years. My dog quickly learned that if he quietly sneaks up behind me and barks, it'll scare the hell out of me. It's now his favorite game. FML

Today, my bird learned to mimic my fire alarm. It proved it to me at 3 am. FML

Today, I was screaming at my neighbor to shut his dog up. After 30 minutes of bellowing, he yelled back that it was my dog that was barking. He was right. FML

Today, I was finally going to fall asleep at a decent hour. Having insomnia, I generally get about 2 hours of sleep. Right as I'm about to fall asleep, 5 firetrucks decide to drive right in front of my house with the sirens/lights on. FML

Make it stop
Today, I had finally gotten my dogs to quiet down and my baby to fall asleep. Not thirty seconds later, my neighbor's car alarm went off. They aren't home for the weekend, and the damn alarm has now been blaring for three hours. FML

Alarm
Today, my dog farted so loud in his sleep that he scared himself and woke up barking. This afternoon I achieved the same feat. FML

So obviously the easiest thing to do is to train the firemen to not sound their alarm! Definitely don't put your dog through any training!

Or just train the dog...
Colon_Man 17
Yes. Earplugs. To cover the sound of the dog howling while sirens are wailing. Cuz that dog is going to wake everybody up...

I'd think living next to a fire station is bad alone…

Hopefully there isn't a lot of fires going around :/

Fires happen more often than you'd think. Also firemen are usually first responders, even if there is no fire, as a back up for EMS. So even with no fires there's still sirens.

Some of them are actually paramedics and firefighters, they respond to many of our calls. We need them for a lot of things, they cut the tops of cars off to get car crash victims out when necessary, and many vital jobs for paramedics and EMTs. I hope OP and their dog manage to come up with a good solution for both of them.

We go to a lot of calls other than fires actually. MVA's (Motor Vehicle Accidents), O2 sensors, Ice Water Rescue, saving cats from places (literally I have gone twice for that) and many other things. My department gets 9x more MVA's than fires

Maybe you can train your dog not to bark when they hear the fire alarm?

At least it's not a new born baby. But really what did you expect when your house is next to a fire station

Sleep maybe

Unfortunately, in an emergency the sirens will sound. Your dog will too.

Well on the bright side if your house is on fire it won't take them long to get there

well you'd have to hear the sirens anyway, adding on your dogs howl while thats going can't be that much worse if you'd have to hear the sirens to begin with
