For National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week I trained with the @SouthMetroFireRescuePIO 911 Communications Center to see what it takes to be a 911 dispatcher.

“I’m so sorry to bother you”, that was so sad. No one should feel guilty for asking for help 🥺
-
when he said "sometimes we are the last voice a person hears" it really changed my prespective on what they do and how crazy it can be. thank you 911 dispatchers !
-
I passed the pre-employment test and I am interviewing for this job tomorrow. This video really shows how incredible these people are and I truly hope to be the one who helps people on their worst day!
-
I’m 5 minutes in and I’m already fighting back tears. Absolutely blown away by what these people do and go through every single day!
-
“Sometimes we are the last voice a person hears.” And the sound of that person’s final breath never leaves us.
-
"Just a receptionist" is quite an understatement for 911 dispatchers.
-
I’m a fireman myself and hearing this made me tear up myself because sometimes we get caught up in what going on we don’t take a moment to realize the impact it has on not just those who are directly involved but us as first responders. Having a kid my self it is an amazing thing.
-
my mom is a dispatcher, she’s come home in tears multiple times because of things she’s heard on her shifts
-
I just imagine this woman as a grandma telling her grandkids all the things shes done 😂😂 Its like Barbie with all her different jobs 😂
-
My mom was a dispatching, she would come home crying some nights because of the stories they hear and the things she went through. One night we went to a awards ceremony and she had saved over 15 lives in her time working there for 3 years, and she had found 4 missing people. My mom is a hardworking woman, and I'm so proud of her!
-
Wow I wasn’t expecting to cry while watching this video. The old lady calling in to say that she fell was so sad but then the way the dispatch handled the situation and was able to immediately dispatch help, that’s what brought tears to my eyes.
-
I was an emergency medical responder for 7 months. The call answering portion isn't the worst, it's dispatching the ambulances at the same time. It's so stressful. All of my respect to anyone who's able to keep this job long term. People are very impressive in emergency situations, I was very humbled.
-
I came here for 911 dispatch and left knowing how to deliver a baby…I needed this
-
As a firefighter, the dispatchers are the true lifeline. They're the first voice that a caller hears and they are the ones dealing with the worst moments of somebody's life, we've got a big respect for the dispatchers
-
I had a neighbor who was 911 dispatch. I always knew she was emotionally exhausted when she got off work. This puts that all into perspective. She's also a single mom. She's definitely a hero for our community.
-
You had me in tears in the last 911 call because my mom is a EMT and I just love that you try to show people that 911 first responders no matter if it’s dispatch EMT police or fire that they’re all here to help you and you’re just so great
-
When the lady that fell on her knee and elbow said, “sorry to bother you.” It broke my heart, I’m glad the dispatcher made her feel calm and everything! ❤️
-
"Should I try and push the baby back in?" was so funny and the operator in the back laughed! 🤣
-
Dispatcher behind you is standing there like a proud momma 🥰
