We want to thank and congratulate the dispatchers at the Crawford County Sheriff's Office for their hard work today. They experienced a remarkable day of receiving calls, paging fire departments, maintaining radio contact with every fire truck, ambulance, and deputy, plus filling every request from incident commanders across the county. Everyone should be relieved and grateful that today's response went as well as it did. Thank you, 1700.
