(That would mean getting my daughter up and to someone's house by 5:45 AM, umm no.)

I told them the earliest I could do is 7:30 AM - and that still requires me to get my daughter up earlier than usual and see if my neighbor can take her. They were ok with that and said to be "on hold" until they know for sure whether or not I'm needed.
Almost by definition, emergencies happen when the children are in bed.
They only phone you when the regular guy is unavailable, yes?
