What is it that can make someone snap? comes to mind, for me anyway. I've talked to people nearly on a daily basis that are either on drugs and talking out of their

head or the drugs that they have been using mess with them enough that our reality is not

shared with them.

It's not always the case, though.

A person can have some traumatic event that sends them over the edge.

Something horrific that happens in their life that sends them down a mental spiral,

and they don't come back from it.

When it comes to a mental breakdown,

there's not a one-size-fits-all explanation for what it was that got the person to that point.

In this episode, I have a couple different cases that were done by people who obviously had some sort of mental break that happened to them.

Details on these are pretty bad. I know I say this in quite a few episodes. This one's no different.

If you're uneasy about things happening to innocent people, including children, you may want to skip this episode.

And on this one, I will give a slight amount of context in the first incident before playing the audio.

911 operators in Tucson, Arizona, received 911 calls regarding a house that was on fire.

Local fire department was sent to Battle the blaze. This is the radio traffic of the fire crews as they respond to and then get on the scene. The TIEW.

Check the time one.

Yes, your one responding.

Checking your one. All units respond.

Multiple callers reporting house on fire, flames coming out the window,

neighbors trying to see if anybody's inside yelling.

Our battalion one, upgrade the risk.

Part of the second, medic, please.
