Happy National Telecommunicators Week!

Many times, because they are unseen in an emergency, the 911 telecommunicator is often the forgotten first responder. Not only do you need to assess and triage an emergency in a blind environment, you also must ensure the safety of the providers that are responding to that emergency.

This week is for you, recognizing the work that you do on a daily basis. It is not an easy job, and is often thankless and seemingly missed, even though it is unintentionally.

The Macomb County EMS Medical Control Authority would like to take a moment to thank you, and show our deep appreciation for the job you do, as well as your partnership in carrying out the very important aspect of ensuring that the EMS protocols set in place to protect the safety and over all well-being of the citizens of Macomb County are followed.

Thank you for the amazing job you do every day!!

EMS is usually all about the moment. Thinking about your last patient could distract you from what’s happening to the person lying on the stretcher in front of you right now. Worrying too much about the next call isn’t too helpful, when you have no idea what it might bring. But the past holds immense lessons—whether it’s the experience of the people who train us or the struggles and triumphs from EMS’s earliest days.

This year, as we recognize the 50th anniversary of the first National EMS Week, we honor those who came before us, especially those who challenged the status quo and raised the bar for all of us. And at the same time, we look forward, building on their efforts and committing ourselves to forge a future for the next generation of EMS professionals to serve their communities.

Hackel said there are eight different fire departments at the plant, and it took awhile to figure out what was going on. He said the fire is contained.

Hackel said emergency management is assessing the situation and is ready to react accordingly.

Most people realize when there’s an immediate situation like that taking place, you have your police, fire, and your EMS. Most people see that response happening. What they don’t see is what goes on with emergency management. They have a good team over there in Clinton Township, as well as the county’s emergency management that really has come together to try to figure out what they need to do, and if it comes to getting utilities shut off, they’re working on that while the fire department’s responding, while police are there.
“So all that is taking place, as well as what you just mentioned, reaching out to the schools to say there’s something that’s going on in the area, and other businesses, as well as residents.
