🐾 DOG-GONE IT! 911 OR NOT?

Which of these situations would you call 911 for?

1️⃣ 🐕 A loose dog is running around your neighborhood.
❌ Generally NOT 911 — contact animal control on the appropriate non-emergency number.

2️⃣ 🚗🐕 A dog is locked inside a hot vehicle and appears to be in distress.
🚨 CALL FOR HELP — especially if the animal appears to be in immediate danger. Follow your local agency's guidance on whether to use 911 or the non-emergency line.

3️⃣ 🐶 Your dog got out of the yard and you can't find them.
❌ NOT 911. Contact animal control/local shelters and post in local lost-pet groups.

4️⃣ 🐕‍🦺⚠️ An aggressive dog is actively attacking someone.
✅ 911! There's an immediate threat to someone's safety.

5️⃣ 🐾 You found a friendly stray dog wandering around.
❌ Generally NOT 911. Contact animal control on the appropriate non-emergency number..

6️⃣ 🐕💥 A dog has been hit by a vehicle and the crash or injured animal is creating an immediate roadway hazard.
🚨 This may warrant an emergency call depending on the danger to motorists or people at the scene.

🐾 Not every doggone problem is a 911 emergency!

Knowing when to call 911 vs. the non-emergency line keeps emergency lines available for situations involving an immediate threat to life or safety.

And since it's National Dog Day...

🚨 MYTH MONDAY: "They haven't sent anyone yet!"

❌ MYTH:
“If the dispatcher is still asking me questions, they haven't sent help yet.”

✅ FACT:
Help may already be on the way while we're still talking to you. 🎧🚑🚒🚓

Dispatchers can continue gathering critical information while responders are being notified and sent to the scene.

Those questions aren't wasting time—they help us:
📍 Confirm exactly where you are
⚠️ Tell responders what they're walking into
❤️ Give lifesaving instructions when needed
🚔 Keep responders informed of changing conditions

So don't hang up because you think we're asking too many questions. Stay on the line, listen carefully, and answer the best you can.

🎧 We're talking to you AND working behind the scenes to get you help.

🚨🎧 THINK LIKE A DISPATCHER!

📞 “911, what’s the address of your emergency?”

A caller reports a strong smell of smoke, but they don't see any flames. 🔥👃

🤔 What questions do you think our dispatchers ask next?

There may be more than one right answer! Drop your guesses below. 👇

🚨 WHAT WE DO WEDNESDAY 🎧

Think dispatchers just answer the phone? 👀 Think again!

☎️ Answering 911 calls is only one part of what happens behind the headset.

Our dispatchers also:
🚓 Coordinate emergency response
📻 Communicate with law enforcement, fire & EMS
❤️ Provide lifesaving instructions before responders arrive
👮 Monitor responder safety
🗺️ Track units and active incidents
🎧 Manage multiple phone calls and radio channels at the same time

Behind every 911 call is a dispatcher gathering information, coordinating resources, and helping keep both our community and our responders safe.

💙 We're more than a voice on the phone. We're the FIRST first responders.

🚨 MYTH MONDAY 🚨

❌ Myth: Dispatchers automatically know exactly where every caller is.

✅ Fact: While today's technology is incredibly helpful, it isn't perfect. That's why one of the first questions you'll hear is:

📍 "What's the address of your emergency?"

Your location is the most important piece of information you can provide. If a call disconnects, your battery dies, or you can't continue speaking, knowing where you are allows us to get help started as quickly as possible.

If you don't know the exact address, don't panic! Tell us the best location you can:
🏠 A house number or address
🛣️ The nearest intersection
🏪 A business name
🌳 A nearby landmark
🛤️ A mile marker or highway number

Every second counts, and knowing your location helps us get responders to you faster.

💙 Remember: Technology helps—but you are still our best source of information.

📚🎒 Back-to-school season is the perfect time to teach your child about 911!

Knowing when and how to call 911 is an important life skill that could make all the difference in an emergency.

Take a few minutes to practice with your child:
✅ Their full name
🏠 Their home address
👨‍👩‍👧 A parent or guardian's name
📞 How to call 911
🚨 When it's appropriate to call for help

Remind them that if they ever have to call 911:
🗣️ Stay as calm as possible.
📍 Tell us where they are.
☎️ Stay on the line and answer the dispatcher's questions.

A little practice today can help your child feel confident if they ever need to call for help.

🚨 "911, what's the address of your emergency?" 📍

Have you ever wondered why that's usually the very first question we ask?

It's simple: location saves time.

If the call is disconnected, your phone battery dies, you're unable to speak, or the situation suddenly becomes unsafe, we've already started gathering the most important piece of information—where to send help.

While you're answering our questions, dispatchers are often already:
🚔 Sending law enforcement
🚑 Dispatching EMS
🚒 Alerting firefighters

Every question we ask has a purpose. We aren't delaying help—we're helping responders get to the right place as quickly and safely as possible.

💙 The best thing you can do when calling 911 is:
✅ Stay as calm as you can.
✅ Know your location if possible.
✅ Answer the dispatcher's questions.
✅ Stay on the line unless you're told it's okay to hang up.

Remember: The address gets help started. The details help responders know what they're responding to.

📣 Did you know that's why we ask for your location first? Let us know in the comments!
