DOTHAN:    12:38 PM.  Dothan 911 dispatched Dothan Fire to 3300 Alderbrook to reports of a structure fire, smoke from shredder.

Dothan Fire Engine 3 ( Westgate ) under the command of Captain Hovey was the first on the scene. The shredder had been removed from the residence and no structure fire. Captain Hovey had responding units cancel and Engine 3 handled.

Pilcher Ambulance responded for the safety of the fireman/

Emergency units respond based on the information provided to the 911 Center. They respond as worse case until someone on the scene gives update.

In emergency service it is much better to roll equipment and staff to handle worse case, find out not as bad and turn around equipment. Than to roll and find it is bad, worse than thought and need the equipment and manpower. Seconds and minutes count when emergencies occur.

THANKS to the 911 staff, to the PAID PROFESSIONALS and the UNPAID PROFESSIONALS. Each one places their lives on the lines to save lives and property.
