911 Birthday (1968) -- Haleyville, Alabama, introduced the nation's first 9-1-1 system at the police station. On February 16, 1968, Alabama Speaker of the House Rankin Fite made the first call from another city hall room. Congressman Tom Bevill answered it on a bright red telephone located in the police department.
Read: Tell Me Exactly What Happened: Dispatches from 911
-- In her new book, veteran 911 operator Caroline Burau shares her on-the-job experiences at a single-person call center (complicated by a public walk-up window) and ground and air ambulance service. Whatever the position, the challenges for a dispatcher never end. Tragedy, boredom, and mind-bending weirdness are constant companions as her stories — some funny, some odd, some sad — show. A broken penis, a case of domestic violence at the walk-up window, a tornado striking a mile away — Caroline Burau handles them all with efficiency, empathy, and humor.
Watch Call 911
-- Showcasing the amazing stories of human drama captured in actual 911 calls, this series reveals both the heroism of the dispatchers and the courage of those calling in hopes of finding immediate assistance.
Reflective Blue 911 Address Sign
-- These are recommended by Police, Fire, and Emergency officials. This is a 911 reflective grade sign, the same as used by the D.O.T. on interstate and roadway signs. They are very highly visible in the daytime and nighttime. The base material is (1/16") 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum, not steel. Sign measures 6" x 18". Meets the federal specification requirements.
