A wrong-number pizza call to 911 in B.C. sparks a police visit and a reminder about accidental emergency calls.

A Pizza Order Turns Into a Police Check-In

A simple slip of the finger turned a routine evening in Mission, B.C., into a story that spread quickly. A woman dialed 911, thinking she was ordering a pizza. Right away, the call-taker tried to explain the mistake, and the woman grew upset. Yet the explanation continued, and the dispatcher calmly noted that officers would stop by to ensure everything was okay.

Why a Pizza Call Still Brings Police

The number 911 is short, and people dial it by mistake all the time. Because of that, police often follow up, even when callers insist everything is fine. And since confusion happens often, the visit moved ahead. After officers arrived, the woman apologized, and the situation wrapped up without trouble.

Why Every Hang-Up Gets a Response

Accidental calls happen, and people sometimes hang up because they panic. Also, people in distress may be pressured by someone nearby to deny needing help. So officers keep responding, and they keep checking in, and they keep making sure no one is hiding fear behind silence. Therefore, each misdial matters, and each hang-up counts. And because safety comes first, police continue showing up, even when callers beg them not to.

A Simple Reminder for Everyone

Unexpected things happen, and phones make mistakes easy. So if you ever dial 911 by accident, stay calm and stay on the line. Then explain what happened. And after that, expect a quick visit, just in case. It is all about keeping people safe, and that priority never changes.
