That's how we all need to handle it.
The NW 188 guys blew it in that regard...
Exactly, the only legal requirement is that you identify yourself. Anything offered beyond that can only bring potential harm.
Most of the time they are just filling out an incident report to account for the emergency response. They keep statistics on calls and response actions, how long it took, how often they are called, etc ... .
