aren't you simply wasting a tone of precious time checking the details? Can't you find out the cause, send the folks the help, and only later gather all the details and pass them on to the crew on the way?
- eksith 13y agoJust a couple of things callers are surprising ambiguous about (this is just from the calls I've heard): - Where are you calling from? (Shockingly, this one is absurdly difficult to get from some people) - What's the emergency? (Often times, they don't even know) So you have to decipher, poke and prod until you get a response. You have to also understand that emergency resources are limited. A cop at one address is one less available at another, more critical, location. Same with ambulances and firefighters. What may turn out to be a mundane call could have diverted precious rescue resources form where it's really needed. So it's not that simple.
