9-1-1 allegations
are way off-hase

Dear Editor:

J read K. Deans’ July 23 News letter to the cditor entitled
“Questioning 9-1-1 priorities” in which the writer states that a 9-
1-1 operator “over-ruled™ his request to be transferred to the fire
department in order to report an car accident.

A glaring error in K. Deans statement needs to be corrected,
Believing this person’s opinion that calling a fire service before
calling the paramedic’s is going to benefit a sick or injured party is
a foolhardy statement at best, irresponsible at worst.

The writer's statement that “9-1-1 operators dispatch motor
vehicle accidents first to B.C. ambulance service and second to the
fire department” is wrong, 9-1-1 operators only ask one question
when you dial: “Police, fire or ambulance?”

Ifthe computer in the 9-1-1 dispatch office shows that you are
calling from a location outside a metropolitan area they may ask
for what city you are calling, but they usually don't interrogate the
caller as to the nature of the call unless the caller is so upset as to
be unable to provide a quick, clear request.

Their job is only to transfer your call to the agency that you
request, K. Dean states his call was transferred to the ambulance
who would have simultaneously transferred the call to the fire
department, Both arrived about the same dime; so I do not see
how anyone was put into jeopardy.

Another statement thar “it is not uncommon for motor vehi-
cle accidents to create dangerous fuel spills and extrication of vic-
tims” is exaggeration. Very few MVAs actually create those types
of hazards unless you are on the set ofa Hollywood production. I
read the letter and had to ask myself “Is there an affiliation
between K. Deans and a fire department?”

The: letter reads as promotional propaganda touting fire
departments as the “saviors” of the community. In view of plum-
meting fire department. and sky-rocketing ambulance statistics,
logic says that we need more of the highly trained paramedics.-K.
Deans should put more thought into writing an article that
attempts to frighten an uninformed public into making decisions
based on one incident that he experienced.
