PANSEY - TAYLOR - HODGESVILLE: At 7:42 PM the women in the Houston County Sheriff 911 dispatched Pansey Volunteer Fire Department to a outdoor fire at U.S 84 and Firetower Road.
At 7:45 PM the women in the Houston County Sheriff 911 dispatched Gordon Volunteer Fire Department to a outdoor for at South Springhill Road and U,S., 84.
At 7:58 PM the women in the Houston County Sheriff 911 dispatched Gordon to U.S Hwy. 84 and North County Road 81 to a outdoor fire.
The three women were fielding the 911 calls, paging out the volunteer fire units and getting them rolling to the fire(s). Multiple outdoor fire calls and locations along Highway 84 between Pansey and Gordon.
A smoker was being pulled and ash debris was coming from the smoker causing the fires.
At 7:53 PM the three women in the Houston County Sheriff 911 Center dispatched Taylor Volunteer Fire, Bay Springs Volunteer Fire and Rehobeth Volunteer Fire to 133 Paul Revere Run to a structure fire, no flames visible but smoke filling the residence.
As the units were announcing in service and responding Houston County Sheriff 911 instructed the units rolling to Paul Revere Run to move operation to Houston County Volunteer Fire TAC 1.
At 8:07 PM the two women in the Houston County Sheriff 911 Center dispatched Cottonwood Rescue to a medical call on Gin Road.
While all was happening with 911 phones ringing reporting the calls of fires and medical, these three ladies were handling the Houston County Sheriff 911 primary. On the Sheriff primary these three ladies are responsible for all Houston County Sheriff Deputies on duty, all municipalities in Houston County with the exception of Dothan Police. But they are responsible for Kinsey Police, Webb Police, Columbia Police, Gordon Police, Cottonwood Police, Ashford Police, Taylor Police and Dothan-Houston County Emergency Management, Houston County Coroner.
At 8:20 PM these three ladies then conduct a radio test with all 17 Houston County Volunteer Fire Departments, 5 Volunteer Emergency Medical Services. This is performed every Thursday night.
THESE THREE LADIES managed all of this with great precision and accuracy and kept all emergencies managed.
The 911 staff is never recognized and acknowledged enough for what they do. Until you have walked in their shoes you never will know how they are the glue that keeps everything together and the connection between the public and emergency services.
LADIES - great job tonight.
