In addition to these direct 9-1-1 transfers, reports of personal injury accidents and other incidents in which
fire or rescue agencies were the primary or initial responders were relayed by the 9-1-1 dispatcher to police
and other agencies by standard telephone service or intercom.
The above transfer calls include multiple calls and callbacks from the reporting party for a single incident.
These calls represent telephone traffic only, not the number of incidents handled by a given agency.
IN APPRECIATION

The 9-1-1 Commission and telecommunications staff also salute the firefighters, emergency medical
technicians, and support members of the volunteer fire companies and rescue squads who provide
invaluable emergency fire and emergency medical services to the Eastern Shore community. We proudly
cherish your dedication and service.
