We know better safe than sorry is Karen Foster Archivesthe old adage, but if you call an ambulance out for a statue this idiom loses its wisdom a bit.
SEE ALSO: Police wait for snake to cross the road, and nopeAn ambulance in the UK received a call about a person in a park. The caller was worried that they were sitting perfectly still and covered in snow. It turns out there was a very good reason for that.

"Somebody in their car spotted who they thought was a person covered in snow and called us," a West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman told ITVnews. "An ambulance arrived straight away and our crew was there for exactly minute and one second."
"The woman who called us had good intentions," he continued, "but it’s unfortunate that she didn’t go over to check first that it wasn’t a statue."
The statue is actually called "The Lady in the Park" and according to Brampton Park's website she was erected to commemorate "all the women in Newcastle-under-Lyme who lost husbands, sons and friends in the First World War and subsequent conflicts."
Well done to West Midlands Ambulance Servive on their speedy arrival, even if they discovered they were not in fact needed. Hopefully in future they'll be called to more pressing emergencies.

UPDATE: Dec. 13, 2017, 3:53 p.m. GMT A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman told Mashable, "“We received a call from a member of the public who was driving past the park and was concerned that there was someone sat on a bench, not moving and covered in snow. An ambulance responded to the scene. Fortunately, it turned out not to be someone in distress. The person did call in good faith while genuinely concerned that someone was in distress.”
