Several years ago, I drove limos for a local company in Destin, Florida. Anyone who has done this for an extended period of time will have tons of stories to tell. This blog series will be a combination of my own stories and those of former coworkers.

The Fire Marshall
One of my coworkers used to work for a limo company in Biloxi, Mississippi, before moving to Florida. Both locations are big vacation and party spots, so both locations have crazy customers. As long as nothing illegal or destructive was going on, we learned to not ask questions.

For this particular run, a woman wanted an hour with her man-on-the-side, while her husband was at work. They decided to have the privacy of a limo with the partition window rolled up.

While they were having their moment of indiscretion, the man had a sudden heart attack and died inside the limo. The driver stopped the car and called 9-1-1. In such a situation, obviously the EMS need to come, so they can attempt to revive the victim. It is also understandable for the police to arrive, just in case there was foul play. The city of Biloxi also requires the fire department to come on scene, in case a problem with the vehicle caused asphyxiation.

So, within a few minutes, the scene was teeming with emergency services: the ambulance crew, the police officers, and the fire marshal... who happened to be the woman's husband.
