DeKalb 911 hosts Powerphone Emergency Medical Dispatch Class

DeKalb County 911 recently hosted a Powerphone Emergency Medical Dispatch Class at the DeKalb County Fire Department Main Station. All counties in the Upper Cumberland region were invited to the class and many participated.
The class focuses on providing each student with the skills necessary to give our callers life saving medical instructions until EMS arrives on scene. Upon completion of the class, the dispatchers hold a national certification to enable them to provide these necessary instructions.

DeKalb E-911 now has 100% of it’s full time staff trained to provide these life saving skills.
