Consolidated dispatch of emergency services starts in Volusia County - News
Highlights:
Volusia's first steps toward a consolidated dispatch system were taken quietly Thursday, with emergency 9-1-1 calls for fire departments in Deltona and Orange City now going through the county.
....
Sanders said the timing allowed county officials to stagger the change. Dispatch centers serving Ponce Inlet and Southeast Volusia are scheduled to switch over around 4 a.m. Thursday. That switch will involve emergency calls for police and fire.
After that, all emergency calls will be handled by the county's two dispatch centers: one for law enforcement, the other for fire and EVAC Ambulance. All of the county's 125 dispatchers are scheduled to be united in a new dispatch and emergency operations center the county expects to open in March 2013.
Note the reference to PI and southeast volusia are referring to 9/29, not today.
