MADISON (WKOW) -- A Madison woman and her niece are shaking their heads after a Packers game sent paramedics to the woman's home.
It all started when Bonnie Jones was watching the Saturday game at her east side home.
The Packers were playing the San Francisco 49ers and were leading when Jordan Love threw an interception in the third quarter.
"It's like a minute and 49 [seconds] left in the game and we're still up by four," Jones told 27 News. "And I'm pacing back and forth by my TV like I can't sit down."
She decides to text her niece Genesis Stone about the nail-biting game.
"I text her saying I'm having a heart attack," Jones explained.
Stone lives in Missouri and said she was completely unaware that the game was even on that night when she got the text.
"It was a Saturday so my brain is going 'it's not even a football day.. there's no reason she shouldn't be picking up'," Stone added.
She called a few times but it went to voicemail.
"My phone's ringing and it's her and I'm like, what the heck is she calling me for? She knows I'm not going to answer," Jones added.
Jones said, as a loyal Packer fan, her family knows not to call her during the game.
Stone began to panic.
"Oh my God, I'm gonna call 911," she said.
The dispatcher transferred her call to Dane County.
27 News obtained the 911 call where Stone is heard telling the operator what's going on.
"I'm in Missouri but my aunt in Wisconsin just texted me that she's having a heart attack," she tells the dispatcher.
He begins asking questions and Stone tries explaining to him that she doesn't know the answers because she's not there.
Eventually he's heard telling her that paramedics are on the way.
While still on the phone with 911, Stone gets a call from her aunt.
"The game gets over and I facetime her right away and she answers and she's crying," Jones recalled.
Stone is then heard on the 911 call saying, "Oh my God, Jesus Christ, she's okay!"
She quickly realizes her aunt has no idea that paramedics are about to show up at her door.
"I tell her 'Aunt Bonnie you have to go to your door right now,' Stone explained. "She's like, why? And I was like, because you said you were having a heart attack."
That's when Jones noticed the lights outside.
"I can see red flashing lights all over the place," she said. "I opened up the front door and said, 'oh my God you guys I'm so sorry.'"
She informed them that her 'heart attack' was a false alarm and a term used only to describe how she felt about the game.
"The paramedics started laughing their butts off," Jones said. "They thought it was funny."
27 News reached out to the Madison Fire Department who said the EMTs were also watching the game when the call came in.
One is heard on the scanner call saying, "We made patient contact. Everything's alright, just got a little excited about the game."
A lieutenant with MFD said the crew were all relived to know it was just a false alarm.
Jones and Stone said they feel bad for pulling the EMTs away from the game but are thankful for their speedy response time.
"Super apologies that I interrupted their final watch of the game," Stone said. "I feel really bad for that."
While it wasn't a heart attack, both Jones and Stone agree that the game did take a toll.
"Everyone had a broken heart afterwards," Stone laughed.
The Packers season came to an end with a 24-21 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
