A week that celebrates the heroes never seen, but always heard, our 911 dispatchers.

Behind every call is a voice that stays calm in chaos, offering guidance, reassurance, and sometimes life-saving instructions. This job is mentally exhausting, emotionally heavy, and often unseen, yet deeply rewarding.

It’s a job that demands constant learning, policies, procedures, and knowing countless locations, businesses, and landmarks like the back of their hand. Every detail matters when seconds count.

In a single shift, they can go from handling someone’s worst moment to helping bring new life into the world over the phone. They hear the panic, the fear, the heartbreak, the screams of loved ones discovering loss. Those sounds don’t just fade when the call ends, they stay with them forever.

Beyond the calls, there’s another weight they carry, knowing that the families of their fellow responders are depending on them too. Every dispatch, every piece of information we give, helps ensure that someone’s partner, parent, or child makes it home safely at the end of their shift.

But through it all, they show up. They answer. They care.

This week, and every week, remember the voices behind the line, the ones who are always there when you need them most. 💛 📞

⚠ Expect significant ice/sleet accumulations beginning tonight and lasting through Thursday as a messy wintry system brings a mix of snow, sleet, freezing rain, and rain to northeast Wisconsin. Highest ice totals of 0.25 to 0.5" are expected across portions of central to far northeast Wisconsin, though most areas will receive at least 0.1". Impacts to the Thursday morning commute are expected, so consider altering travel plans or allow extra time to reach your destination.

Snow & ice can block furnace vents, dryer vents, and fireplace vents, which can cause carbon monoxide to build up in your home. Take a couple of minutes to remove snow from these areas around your home.

❄️🚨❄️🚨❄️🚨❄️🚨

Carbon monoxide (CO) is an invisible, odorless, and colorless gas and is known as a silent killer. Make sure you have working CO alarms installed in your home. Suspect CO poisoning? Evacuate the area and call 9-1-1 right away.
