  • Mark Rine

    hey jon thanks for the welcome. My cousin works for washington township in dublin. Do you know J.R.Rine?
  • Nikki C. Saunders

    I absolutely love being a dispatcher. Especially for the fire dept. Everyone says I am nuts to be out there and doing the stuff I do because it's all volunteer for the Fire Dept. When I get patted on the back by the BLM and DNRC and our other guys, and county guys, that is enough thanks for me. I don't need to be paid to take care of my guys. I have my guys totally spoiled, and they know it, but, there isn't a thing I wouldn't do for any of these guys and gals or my guys and gals.
    I've been there going on 9 years and I love every minute of it.
  • Nikki C. Saunders

    John, I'm sorry to hear about your bad call the othernight. I go through the same thing and always wonder if I could have dispatched some one sooner if they wuld be okay or maybe if they would have gotten there sooner, etc. I think we all go thru this and it's a very rough thing to go through.
    I really don't know what else to say except i'm sorry and I know what your going thru.
  • Drew Tenhundfeld

    Thanks for the message. Take care and be safe.
