Serves him right really. If another serious accident had occured at the time, then there'd be less crews ready to respond to it.
They should start fining (although for a far smaller amount) those who waste the emergency operators time. We've all read those stories where people call in to report blocked toilets and stuff.

^I read an interesting article a year or so ago (I will try and find it sometime today) that described why FOX News has such good rating. To summarize, the findings shown that the majority of viewers for MSNBC/CNN are computer literate, and with time have dropped the 24-hour channels and instead pick up their news on the internet. But, the majority of the FOX News viewers are not as literate with computers, so they only get their news from FOX and the random e-mails (generally from FOX) that are sent to their accounts. Consequently, FOX is retaining or adding these computer illiterate viewers, wheras MSNBC/CNN is losing viewers to the internet.

That is one mangled misinterpretation of the ratings.... regardless of what one may think of Fox, the total number of eyeballs watching the boob-tube is spiraling down in flames. Ever notice how every public place (airports, gym, etc) seems tuned to a Fox channel? Paid to be the default (unless people complain loudly enough and then the employees happily change it).

The cable networks' interpretation of "news" is currently finding some international source online that broke it out, and bringing in two talking head "experts" to explain the obvious. I don't watch TV anymore. It feels almost demeaning to be sitting in front of it.

Whenever I watch any of the cable news channels, I keep thinking they should be required to take the "News" part out of their name. At this point they have more in common with tabloids like the enquirer than actual news shows.
