This week marks National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week.
Public safety telecommunicators have the difficult job of answering phone calls in the most acute moments of an emergency, obtaining what happened and who needs to respond, and even giving instructions during chaotic scenes to aid those in need until help arrives. They are truly skilled professionals and people who make modern EMS possible.
We thank all public safety telecommunicators, especially our partners from @delcomm911 , for their invaluable skills, this and every week of the year.
First we saw significant progress at our new station 11 /BST&G fire district station 352 as they poured concrete for the ramps for the front and back bay entrances! Thanks to all the skilled workers involved in this project!
Next DCEMS Medics 1 and 4 worked with our partners from Tri Township Fire District, Buckeye Valley Local Schools @bvlsbarons, @delawarecosheriff and @medflightofohio to complete a mock crash for the students of the high school. With their prom this weekend and summer coming up, the devastating consequences of impaired driving cannot be over stated. Thanks to all the students and first responders who made this event a success.
DCEMS is excited to welcome (L-R) Jonathan, Emma and Sean to our team. They have begun their first week of orientation and will soon be paired up with field training officers to help them orient and acclimate to our department. We are excited for their contributions to our community!
