Carpet Bombing?

A van went screaming up the street, slowed at the stop sign then raced to the light. Emblazened on the side of the vehicle was the logo and name of a carpet and floor cleaning company along with "Emergency Response Unit".

I have to ask, when does carpet/floor cleaning require an Emergency Response Unit?
Imagine this scenario:

"Good afternoon, thank you for calling Our Carpet Cleaning Company. How may I help you?"

[panic stricken] "Oh my gosh! I just spilled red wine on my carpet and the Governor General is coming to dinner tonight. Can you help me?"

"We'll be right there! Stay where you are. Don't touch anything! We're on our way."

A crew puts on their teflon protected jackets, jumps into the specially-equipped Econoline, hits the siren and speeds away!

Puh-lease!

Ripped us off...you didn't finish it...
The Chief puts on his mask, checks the tank that is strapped to his back and enters the house. He examines the area closely and then he pulls a hose from the side of the tank, sprays on some club soda and cleans it up with a rag.

And, one of the crew could tape off the area in yellow crime scene tape...
