Do you call 911 when there is a broken light bulb?
You could be fined if you call 911 about a broken light bulb !
The 911 service is only to be used for emergency situations! Now, let's say there are railroad tracks in your town and you notice the gate and flashing lights are broken at a railroad crossing. You should report that first to prevent a train-vehicle collision and second so the police can notify the railroad company and perhaps delay trains until it is fixed.
If you notice a street light is burnt out, wait until daytime and call the Street Department in your city.
But if the broken or burnt out light bulb is at your house, call your mom, dad, aunt, uncle, boyfriend... but not 911.

Fire-brands (embers) may be carried by the fire's convection, supplemented by the wind. Radiation from a large fire may be powerful enough to ignite fires inside nearby buildings, where the radiation enters through the windows.
Some urban fire codes prohibit opposite-facing windows in adjacent storage buildings. In other words, windows must be offset to prevent the radiation from fire in one building from being projected into the next building through its windows.
