In Taichung, a man was fined thousands of dollars for repeatedly making false fire reports to the 119 emergency line. The man called in fake fires nine times, leading to the dispatch of multiple fire trucks and ambulances each time, only to find no actual fire. The fire department stressed the serious impact of such misbehavior on their rescue operations and reminded citizens to respect emergency resources and ensure prompt help for those genuinely in need.
