Did you know that Firefighters Sent To Wrong Address--Again?

ATLANTA -- For the second time in a week, Atlanta 911 dispatchers sent firefighters to the wrong address.
Fire damaged a house on Howell Drive around 4:15 p.m. Sunday, but CBS Atlanta News learned that firefighters were sent to a location on Harwell Road.
CBS Atlanta obtained the recording of the call.
“Respond to number 66 Harwell Road northwest at Delmar Lane,” a dispatcher said.

Several minutes later, one of the firefighters corrected the dispatcher, letting her know the fire was on Howell, not Harwell.
“That's going to be on Howell, Howell Road at Martin Luther King Drive. Working fire, we’ll let you know when we get on the scene,” the firefighter said. more
