LYONS, N.Y. – Wayne County EMS Coordinator Paul Fera says a dispatcher went into cardiac arrest while working in the Wayne County 911 Center on May 26.
Fera says coworkers noticed right away and got her to the floor to start CPR. He says the supervisor grabbed the AED and other coworkers delivered a shock from it.

“It’s a miracle of life right before our eyes,” Lee County 911 Director Shelley Dallas said at Thursday’s award ceremony.
California’s next-generation 911 project has been paused for months, but at least one former official says everything is fine.
alifornia’s yearslong next-generation 911 rollout has been marked by safety concerns and delays, with some dispatch centers experiencing outages, misrouted calls and busy signals. The California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services has since last November been re-evaluating the project by focusing on improving technology and processes, and is planning to open new contracts by the end of the year.
In a Gatesville City Council meeting held on Tuesday, a resolution was adopted authorizing the creation of the Central Texas Regional 911 Emergency Communications District (ECD) through the Central Texas Council of Governments (CTCOG), which administers the state’s 911 program for the city.
MERIDEN —The Planning Commission unanimously approved plans to build a 6,000-square foot emergency dispatch center at 32 W. Main St. next to the police station.
The single-story center will serve as a communications and operations hub for the city’s police, fire and ambulance departments. The project includes merging the city-owned lots at 32 and 50 West Main Street to create a 16,093-square foot lot between the Meriden Senior Center and the Meriden Police Department.
