WICHITA FALLS, Texas (TNN) – The first person you talk to during an emergency is now being classified as a first responder.
“I think it’s been a long time coming,” said Lisette Renfroe, a Wichita Falls public safety dispatcher. “We’re the first ones there, without physically being there.”
Renfroe and Carla Turner, the dispatch communications manager said they appreciate the new law that’s classifying them as first responders because for the longest time they were categorized as secretaries.
