YOUNGSTOWN — A captain at the Youngstown Police Department, newly appointed to oversee its 911 center, said Lansdowne Boulevard resident Earl Minotti has reason to be upset that the response time to put out the fire that badly damaged his home early Thursday was delayed by a minute or more.
“The homeowner is legitimately upset, and they have a right to be, quite frankly. I want to get on this and figure out why this happened and how we can fix it,” Capt. Kevin Mercer said Friday…

My instructor made a pretty chilling point that as a call taker, you’re going to be the last person on earth to talk to some of these people, I’ve heard suicides over the phone and even worse heard people who found their loved ones after a suicide.
For me personally it was a very rewarding job and I loved the teamwork aspect of it.
