Hi Paul
Didn't expect to see anyone online at this time.
Yes, of course people do call out the fire brigade on 999 in a non-emergency, like when there's no fire or endangerment to the public. People with toes stuck up bath taps, getting arms stuck down the backs of radiators and all sorts of other daft things that the fire brigade are called out for, which is extremely expensive. Window cleaners at tower block height whose mechanisms stop working which is an emergency, then cats "stuck" up trees, folk who've locked themselves out of their homes; I could go on and on! You wouldn't believe the non-emergency calls they get, but sometimes somebody may need to speak to them for advice.
