The Real First Responders

Hello! My name is Nikki, and I am a Communications Officer (a.k.a. a 911 Operator) for the county that I live in. People always view the police officers, firefighters and paramedics as being the first responders. This is a misconception... the operator that you get when you call 911 is your real first responder. It is the operator that you tell your "problem", or "emergency to. The operator then assess the type of help that you need. It is actually the operator that sends out the paramedics, firefighters, and law enforcement officers. Without them, you wouldn't get any help.
