Real simple answer, upon the first push of 911 the person(s) are evac'd even if they are ok unless they can plainly prove it was an erroneous push. First rule for EMT's "Don't let the patient think for themselves". It certainly would have ended this little saga. The word should then be spread about this one shot deal. Charging for the evac is next (I am awaiting the bill for my last ambulance ride as I type this). We read all the time about hikers getting into trouble and calling 911 on cell phones. SPOT just lets them get farther away. Stupidity should hurt.
