Dinwiddie Fire & EMS 911

How many localities can say they started a pursuit with a military tanker, not to mention the naked guy who attacked our rescue squad while riding his bicycle.

Thank you, 9-1-1 hero!

Kudos to 911 call taker Lynn Williams who handled a call from a woman in respiratory distress who was unable to give her full address. Relying on her training, instinct and re-bid resources, Lynn was able to ascertain the caller’s exact location. #ThankYou911 #WeAnswerTheCall

#KUDOS to 911 call taker Jettia Vance! On a recent call she was able to calm a caller in respiratory distress, barely able to speak. Using her calming technique training, she obtained the vital info needed for @dcfireems dispatch & stayed on the line until help arrived.

Unsung heroes abound!

Kudos to veteran 911 call taker Nikita Washington who recently assisted with delivering a healthy baby boy! Her composure and steady tone calmed the caller which helped to ensure a successful delivery prior to @dcfireems arrival! Thank you Nikita! #WeAnswerTheCall

It’s 10-15, a good day to ask your senators to support S. 1015, the 911 SAVES Act, and fix the classification of 911 professionals. Visit APCO’s advocacy portal here: https://www.apcointl.org/government-relations/take-action/ @EmergCallABC

Commissioner Starks gets it right.

Geoffrey Starks@GeoffreyStarks

Our first responders are stretched to the limit & their comms needs are increasing, but @FCC adopts a 4.9 GHz approach out of the blue that may cause public safety comms to become less efficient, secure, and reliable—even as commercial interest remains meager at best. I dissent. https://twitter.com/FCC/status/1311328077977448448

Unfortunately a majority of @FCC commissioners approved an order stripping the 4.9 GHz band from public safety. This press release from 11 major public safety orgs says it all: https://psc.apcointl.org/2020/09/30/divided-fcc-strips-needed-spectrum-from-public-safety/. We appreciate the dissents from Commissioners @JRosenworcel & @GeoffreyStarks

The one system we need to work all the time is 911. The FCC needs to get to the bottom of this now and figure out what is going on.

9-1-1 professionals deserve indoor location info they can act upon & we believe @FCC can do better; @APCOIntl’s petition for reconsideration seeks a better course for achieving real progress on a superior dispatchable location solution for 9-1-1 calls https://www.apcointl.org/download/petition-for-reconsideration-of-july-2020-e9-1-1-location-accuracy-order/?wpdmdl=42588
