Thanks for commenting on my blog. You are right. The people that have no connection to the Emergency Services can't understand how we feel. They do have their blinders on. They need to remember, they need to talk to us & see & feel our emotions.
Anyway, I do remember hearing the hollowness in the voices of our dispatchers here. I could tell some were just barely holding it together. I have a lot of respect for you dispatchers. You may not be in the front lines, but you do provide a very important service. Don't let anyone tell you different. Stay safe & sane!

My hats off to all dispactchers. You take it from both sides. The public on the phone and the responders on the radio. A tuff job, but I'm glad someone else does it. Again my hats off!! Thanks
