   STOP making Hoax calls, you time wasting fools. Our emergency services people have a hard enough job, dealing with TRUE INCIDENTS. Wasting their time could result in someone loosing their life. Why not put your energy into being a volunteer for Saint Johns Ambulance, or something else worth while. Who knows, one day you too may need the prompt action of the emergency services, yet, they may be attending a time wasting hoax call. THINK ABOUT IT.

   What a great idea, maybe these kids will think twice now so that genuine calls can be dealt with. Only thing is will people still remember to listen to the calls in a months time? Might be an idea to make it an advertiser feature to remind people to check the audio clips, if one person gets caught and prevents others from doing it i'd say its a job well done. congrats to who ever had the idea, our firemen and women have enough to deal with (including idiots throwing bricks at them while they're trying to do their jobs) all credit to them.
