A Douglas County dispatcher and her husband will be living out of a camp trailer while they wait for their Dayton home to be repaired after a July 8 fire.

Dispatcher Maria Bowling said she was working in the 911 Center the day of the fire.

“We happened to be monitoring Lyon County at the time, so I heard the call come out,” she said. “However, they had the wrong address at first.”

Bowling found out that call was for her house when her husband called her at work.

“He was asleep in the house when it happened,” she said. “He barely made it out, with the help of Lyon County Sheriff’s Deputy Nicholas McDaniel, who had to kick down the back fence and run down a hill to our neighbors house.”
