A big thank you to Chief Daniel Lawson and the incredible crew at Campbell County Rural Fire Service for thinking of our dispatchers during National Telecommunicators Week. It truly means so much to know the ones we answer calls for every day are thinking of us too.

Behind every tone out and every call, there’s a whole team working together and we’re proud to stand right beside you all. We appreciate the support, the partnership, and the kindness more than words can say.

Y’all definitely scored some extra brownie points with dispatch this week 😉🔥🚒
