When the house is on fire, you lead people OUT OF THE HOUSE.
Then you get help.
Then, if you can do it without putting yourself back in danger, you look for opportunities to help out.

It is quite possible that you are being manipulated. If emergencies keep happening, senior management has a big problem, and it's up to them to fix it.
