🎃🚨 SPOOKY SEASON: 911 OR NOT? 👻📞

Halloween is almost here, and things are getting a little SPOOKY! But do you know which situations are actual emergencies? 👀

Let's put your 911 knowledge to the test!

👻 1️⃣ Someone in a scary costume jumps out and startles you while trick-or-treating.

🎃 2️⃣ You see smoke coming from a neighbor's house, but nobody is answering the door.

🍬 3️⃣ Someone stole your entire bowl of Halloween candy off the porch.

🚗 4️⃣ You witness a vehicle strike a trick-or-treater.

🕸️ 5️⃣ A suspicious person is walking around your neighborhood wearing a mask.

🔥 6️⃣ A Halloween decoration catches fire and the flames begin spreading toward the house.

🤔 WHICH ONES ARE 911 EMERGENCIES?

Drop your answers in the comments! 👇

🚨 Remember, 911 is for emergencies involving an immediate threat to life, safety, or property. Suspicious behavior alone doesn't always mean there's an emergency.

🎧 Our dispatchers are here 24/7, even when things go bump in the night!

🧡 Stay safe and stay spooky!

🎃🍂 HELLO, OCTOBER! 🍂🎃

Spooky season has officially entered the dispatch center. 👻🎧

As we head into a new month, your friendly voices behind 911 have a few reminders:

🦌 Watch for deer, especially around dawn and dusk.
🌙 Days are getting shorter — slow down and stay alert after dark.
🚜 Give farm equipment plenty of room on the road.
🔥 Be smart with fire pits, burn piles, and other fall fires.
👻 Keep an extra eye out for little ghosts and goblins as Halloween gets closer.
📍 And as always, know your location when calling 911.

We’ll be here all October — through the tricks, the treats, and everything in between. 🎃☎️

🚨 Emergencies don't take a spooky season break, and neither do we.

Happy October from all of us at Cheyenne County Emergency Communications Center! 🧡🖤

🚨🎧 MYTH MONDAY — LAST ONE OF SEPTEMBER! 🍂

❌ MYTH:
“Once I tell the dispatcher what's happening, I can hang up and wait for help.”

✅ FACT:
If a dispatcher asks you to stay on the line, there’s a reason. 📞

While responders are on the way, the situation can change quickly. Staying connected allows us to:

❤️ Give lifesaving instructions
🚓 Pass new information to responders
⚠️ Warn responders about possible hazards
📍 Clarify your location or other important details
🗣️ Help guide you through what to do next

You may hear a lot of questions, but EVERY QUESTION HAS A PURPOSE. 🎧

Unless staying on the phone puts you in danger, don’t hang up until the dispatcher tells you it’s okay to disconnect.

🍁 As September comes to an end, remember:

We’re here 24/7 — every season, every day, every call. ❤️

🍂🚨 FALL INTO SAFETY FRIDAY! 🚨🍂

September is almost in the rearview mirror, and fall is officially here! 🎃🍁

As the days get shorter and the temperatures start dropping, here are a few reminders from your dispatchers:

🦌 Watch for deer — especially around dawn and dusk.

🚜 Share the road — harvest season means more farm equipment traveling our highways and county roads.

🌙 Expect earlier darkness — watch closely for pedestrians, cyclists, animals, and stopped vehicles.

🔥 Be careful with fall burning — know local restrictions and never leave a fire unattended.

🚗 Slow down & buckle up — getting there a few minutes later is always better than not getting there at all.

And as always...

📞 For an emergency, call 911.
🎧 We'll be here—pumpkin spice or not. 😂☕🍂

Have a safe last weekend of September from all of us at Cheyenne County Emergency Communications Center! ❤️

🚨🎧 MYTH MONDAY!

❌ MYTH:
“If I call 911 from a cell phone, dispatchers can see my exact location.”

✅ FACT:
While 911 technology can provide valuable location information, it isn’t always exact. 📍

Buildings, rural areas, phone settings, network conditions, and other factors can affect the location information we receive.

That’s why you may hear us ask:

📍 “What’s the address of your emergency?”
🛣️ “What road are you on?”
🏪 “What landmarks or businesses are near you?”
🚗 “What direction are you traveling?”

Even if you think “They should already know where I am!” — please answer anyway. ❤️

The faster we can CONFIRM your location, the faster we can make sure help is headed to the right place.

🎧 Technology is a great tool. Your voice is an important part of the call.

A️⃣ Are you somewhere safe?
B️⃣ Do you know who the person is?

🇺🇸 September 11, 2001 — We Will Never Forget.

Today, we pause to remember the lives lost, the families forever changed, and the first responders, dispatchers, and everyday citizens who answered unimaginable tragedy with extraordinary courage.

We honor those who ran toward danger.
We remember those who never made it home.
We stand with those who still carry the memories of that day.

From all of us at Cheyenne County Emergency Communications Center, we remember. We honor. We will never forget. 🇺🇸

🐾 DOG-GONE IT! 911 OR NOT?

Which of these situations would you call 911 for?

1️⃣ 🐕 A loose dog is running around your neighborhood.
❌ Generally NOT 911 — contact animal control on the appropriate non-emergency number.

2️⃣ 🚗🐕 A dog is locked inside a hot vehicle and appears to be in distress.
🚨 CALL FOR HELP — especially if the animal appears to be in immediate danger. Follow your local agency's guidance on whether to use 911 or the non-emergency line.

3️⃣ 🐶 Your dog got out of the yard and you can't find them.
❌ NOT 911. Contact animal control/local shelters and post in local lost-pet groups.

4️⃣ 🐕‍🦺⚠️ An aggressive dog is actively attacking someone.
✅ 911! There's an immediate threat to someone's safety.

5️⃣ 🐾 You found a friendly stray dog wandering around.
❌ Generally NOT 911. Contact animal control on the appropriate non-emergency number..

6️⃣ 🐕💥 A dog has been hit by a vehicle and the crash or injured animal is creating an immediate roadway hazard.
🚨 This may warrant an emergency call depending on the danger to motorists or people at the scene.

🐾 Not every doggone problem is a 911 emergency!

Knowing when to call 911 vs. the non-emergency line keeps emergency lines available for situations involving an immediate threat to life or safety.

And since it's National Dog Day...

🚨 MYTH MONDAY: "They haven't sent anyone yet!"

❌ MYTH:
“If the dispatcher is still asking me questions, they haven't sent help yet.”

✅ FACT:
Help may already be on the way while we're still talking to you. 🎧🚑🚒🚓

Dispatchers can continue gathering critical information while responders are being notified and sent to the scene.

Those questions aren't wasting time—they help us:
📍 Confirm exactly where you are
⚠️ Tell responders what they're walking into
❤️ Give lifesaving instructions when needed
🚔 Keep responders informed of changing conditions

So don't hang up because you think we're asking too many questions. Stay on the line, listen carefully, and answer the best you can.

🎧 We're talking to you AND working behind the scenes to get you help.
