National Telecommunicators Week

In April, Orland Central Dispatch celebrated National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week 2023! It was a jam packed few days as the “Dispatch Globetrotters” traveled the world, eating international foods & playing the country’s games! With the help of local businesses, Fire Departments & Districts we serve, and generous donations, our “first” first responders have been honored all week. TCO Kim Coffou was presented with the “Telecommunicator of the Year” award, TCO Suzanne Dietz was recognized as “Teammate of the Year” award, and Pam Maliszewski with Healing Hearts Comfort Dogs was honored with the “We are Family” award. Rarely seen, but always heard, these are the heroes behind the scenes. The Orland Fire Protection District is very proud of the job our 911 Dispatchers do!
