🎧 WHAT WE ACTUALLY DO:

☎️ Answer 911 and non-emergency calls
📍 Figure out where you are — sometimes when you don't know
❓ Ask questions while help is already being sent
🚓 Dispatch and monitor police officers
🚒 Dispatch fire departments
🚑 Coordinate EMS responses
📻 Listen to and manage multiple radio channels
💻 Enter and update calls in CAD
🔎 Run names, vehicles, registrations, warrants, and other information
🗺️ Track responders and changing incident locations
📞 Contact other agencies, hospitals, utilities, tow companies, animal control, public works, and more
🚨 Coordinate mutual aid and additional resources
📝 Document important information as an incident unfolds
🧠 Remember approximately 47 things at the same time
☕ Occasionally remember that the coffee we poured two hours ago still exists

…and sometimes we're doing several of those things at the exact same time.

When you call 911, the person answering isn't simply an “operator.”

Public Safety Telecommunicators are trained professionals working behind the scenes 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to connect our communities and first responders when it matters most.

We may be the voices you don't see, but there's a whole lot happening behind those headsets. 🎧

Did you know?
Honey bee swarms and established colonies can appear in trees, walls, sheds, or other structures. Bees are important pollinators, but should be handled carefully. beeswarmed.org provides a free public reporting tool to connect residents with local beekeepers for safe honey bee removal and relocation. Beekeepers can assess the situation and arrange humane bee removal without the need for extermination. This protects pollinators, reduces unnecessary emergency calls, and supports local agriculture.

🚨 Family Safety Day Update 🚨

Unfortunately, due to the forecasted weather conditions for Saturday, we have made the difficult decision to cancel this year’s Family Safety Day. 🌧️⛈️

We know how much our community looks forward to this event each year, and we are incredibly disappointed to have to make this call. However, the safety of our guests, vendors, volunteers, and participating agencies has to come first. ❤️

A huge THANK YOU to all of our vendors, sponsors, community partners, volunteers, and everyone who has worked behind the scenes to prepare for this year’s event. 🚒🤝 We truly appreciate your continued support of Family Safety Day and the Warsaw-Wayne Fire Territory.

Thank you for your understanding, and we hope to see everyone again next year! ❤️🚒
