NBC – Just after midnight on April 4, a Montgomery County woman called 911 because her husband was having trouble breathing and was starting to turn blue. Following protocol, a 911 call-taker answers and quickly transfers the woman to a dispatcher. He was supposed to send an ambulance. But in the 911 recording call obtained by the News4 I-Team, all you can hear is silence in response to the woman’s repeated hellos. Caller: “Hello? Hello? Hello?” Realizing something isn’t right, the original call-taker breaks in. 911 Call-Taker: “OK, hold on one second ma’am. Let me try to get them on the line again.” Caller: “OK. Oh.” Sleeping Dispatcher: ((Snore))
That light snoring you hear is the original dispatcher who has fallen asleep. The snores get louder as a new dispatcher tries to help the woman. 2nd Dispatcher: “Put one hand on his forehand, the other hand underneath his neck and tilt his head back.” Caller: “Yes.” Sleeping Dispatcher: ((Snore)) Caller: “Uh huh.” “The employee was immediately removed from the floor by his supervisor that night and placed on administrative leave with pay pending the inquiry,” Montgomery County Assistant Fire Chief Scott Graham said.
I feel this bro so bad. I don’t care what line of work you’re in. Finance. Stripping. Emergency services. Quitting time is quitting time. Check the clock dude. I retired to the couch with a six pack and fired up OnDemand like 3 hours ago. Get a clue. Same thing goes for this bitch in Montgomery County. Hey lady I’m 17 hours into a 24 hour shift. Horrible time for your husband to choke to death to be honest. Can you call back tomorrow morning? If I don’t get my 8 hours I’m grumpy as a motherfucker. Your husband’s windpipe < my REM cycle. Sorry but that’s life.
