🥔 National Potato Day? We’re all in! 📞
Our 911 center knows that every shift can get a little mashed. So, today we’re celebrating with some seriously a-peeling dispatch humor!

Whether we’re hashing out the details, chipping in to help, or handling a situation that’s getting a little fried, our dispatchers are always prepared to answer the call.

And unlike our potato dispatchers pictured here, our real telecommunicators are trained professionals ready to serve our community 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. 🚨🥔
So, enjoy the laughs, have a spud-tacular National Potato Day, and remember when there’s a real emergency, skip the potato and call 911. 🥔☎️
