One of the calls is now being handled by the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office.
The fire department says someone called into 911, claiming a tree fell on their house, and that they were hiding in their dryer, but did not expect to survive.
Officials say they determined that call was fake and called the prank call "detrimental to safety."

Misuse of 911 is a crime.
