Texas 911 Dispatch manager talks evolution of service
They sit behind multiple computer screens their entire shift, but they could save your life. They are the operators of 911 dispatch. And although National Public Safety Telecommunications Week is under way, their jobs have not become any less stressful. Longview Police Department Communications Manager Matt Ainsworth says if anyone deserves a week named for them, it’s 911 telecommunicators. “It’s a week that we set aside every year to acknowledge who do this very, very difficult job,” Ainsworth said.

Firefighter Robots To Be Inducted In Delhi, Becomes Third Metro City In India To Have Robotic Firefighters
Delhi Fire Services will induct two firefighting robots as Fire service week commences from Wednesday, 14 April according to a report published in OneIndia. This year's theme is "Maintenance of Fire Safety Equipment Is Key To Mitigate Fire Hazards". DFS chief Atul Garg said that the robots had been bought from Australia last year. "These robots will be remote controlled. They'll be able to throw water at a distance at difficult spots," he said. The robots will help in increasing efficiency and effective response. Garg added that "the equipment includes cameras, drones, concrete cutters among other things."
