Red Cross first-aiders,” Williams
said.
TAMECT runs an ambu

“If people want our services,
we can schedule it,” he said.

too many calls received on the
911 number are not emergen

“Some people call without
even thinking,” Feldman said.
“It’s nothing that can’t be
handled.”
If someone calls in with a
minor emergency, the police
officers urge the person to call
back on the department’s other
number, Feldman said.
If the problem of having too
many non-emergency calls gets
out of hand, Feldman said, the
police department will inform
the public.
Heart attacks, fires, murders
and car accidents are examples
of emergencies, Feldman said.
In these cases the 911 number is
effective at saving time.
