It is a common sight to see Dan Howell, a famous YouTuber and vlogger, to be constantly interrupted by ambulance sirens that wail as if no one was there. Though, it is not common when Dan himself is associated closely to these ambulance sirens - especially if he was the cause of it.

To London. *Note to Readers: The timeline of events in this story does not follow the sequential video timeline of either AmazingPhil or Danisnotonfire.
