911 Dispatcher Laughs When Caller Tells Her His Girlfriend is On Fire

Pima County 911 call

A Tucson, Arizona man wants action taken against a Pima County 911 dispatcher who laughed when he told her his car and girlfriend were on fire.

Lalo Delgado’s car caught on fire during a freak accident on the way to Chiva Falls, Breitbart.com reports.

Delgado told KGUN9-TV he was “shocked” when he called 911 to report the fire, and the dispatcher giggled.

“Her initial reaction was laugh and giggle in the background,” said Delgado. “It was very disturbing.”

Video auto-plays after the break.

Here’s the transcript of the call:

Delgado called back after extinguishing the fire himself.

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department said action would be taken against the 911 dispatcher who was still taking 911 calls on Tuesday.

“We did not perform as I expect or the citizens of this county expect us to,” said Capt. Jim Berry. “We’re going to correct that. Certainly I can understand why he was upset. I would be too.” He added that an investigation is underway to determine “what the laughter was about.”

Lalo’s girlfriend reportedly has a long road to recovery. Listen to the call below.

I saw this on the Today show this morning. That dispatcher needs to be fired. He is about to get paid

What the heck!!!! Has he been fired yet?
hell_on_heels

This is what happens when unqualified folks get in positions they’re not cut out for. The dispatcher needs to be fired and then she can laugh her a$$ off while waiting eight to ten weeks for an unemployment payment!!!

She knows what she signed up for her azz needs to get fired.

Yeah…she needs to be turned loose from that job.

Give her a clown suit. She can laugh all day in that.
http://www.caboki.com/index.html Man, I just don’t care™

If laughing was goin on in the background, he prolly wasn’t laughing at the caller’s situation but something going on in the call center.

While I do NOT agree with laughter it’s funny to me how some things are catapulted into MANUFACTURED crisis mode and other things like uh I don’t know black men being picked up by the cops and end up never being seen again never make the mainstream news. Thank you for reporting all the stories SR this is not a dig at you.

I feel bad for his girlfriend. What kind of freak accident happened? Or dud he set her on fire.

I think she was laughing at something going on in the back ground.. She should also know that she would be held accountable for this. She should be punished/let go b/c of the severity of the job. Take the junk to the break room and cackle in there.

Her voice gets louder when she says, “Is you girlfriend STILL on fire?” They were obviously laughing at him. This probably isn’t the first time they entertain themselves by laughing at callers.

Miami’s 991 center is pretty shiddy too.

While PCSing to Key West, I was coming back from FLL from picking up my mom and baby sister up. We rolling down the highway entering the city and all of a sudden I hear swerving noises. I try to move over to the far right b/c I couldn’t see where it was from and boom this pretty white charger smashed into me. She totaled her car. She was texting and driving and lost control. I thnk the bish was taking a selfie too… She was pretty. When I pulled over, silly me, I called 911 instead of pressing my onstar button, and the operator was rude. She asked me where I was and I didn’t know b/c there were no signs where I was. So I pressed OnStar and asked my stepdad to talk to them to et a location. “Why would you call onstar when you’re on the phone with 991 (yes she said 991) ma’am? that’s stupid. I went off on her and my stepdad that night. (he was being an azzhole that whole trip.)

I can’t hear the recording, but could he have been laughing at something with a fellow dispatcher? If that’s the case, sure it was super insensitive, but I don’t know if he needs to lose his job over it. The publicity and having this incident noted in his personnell file is pretty good punishment.

KayCeiSoul

I don’t know what set you off yesterday, but I read a couple of stories about Nessa’s pregnancy and people are REALLY going in on her. I’m really disappointed that people are behaving this way and I pray she’s not reading it. It really makes me consider stepping back from blogs. The poison that is spewed can become a part of you in real life and I don’t want that. I’m already to the point where I have to watch how I speak because sometimes my Sandrarose talk slips out in real life at inappropriate times. To anyone here that may have given Nessa the riot act for having the nerve to have a baby out of wedlock I hope my comment doesn’t offend. It’s just my opinion.

*******************************************

Bird, you encouraged me and I will encourage you today Sis. Brush it off of your shoulder. Because if what people on this and other blogs said was taken seriously, we’d all be in trouble.

I had a child after 30. I am a blessing to him, and he is such a blessing to me. Any thought process that is otherwise is a joke in my world. Live my life and have the happiness I have when I go home, and THEN tell me I’m selfish or that my child is going to have to bury me early. That is such a mean, and hurtful untruth to spew. THAT is selfish.

WTF is early? Parents…scratch that…PEOPLE leave this earth daily. I don’t want to ever bury my child before me NO WAY and I’d hope that I’d raise my child to be self sufficient so that at any age of adulthood, when I give up the ghost they’ll have avoided spending their hey-deys caring for me when I can’t care for myself. Now that is VERY UNSELFISH.

If we did things according to the way the world is going, there would be NO reproduction at all.

As for her not being married, it happens, only God can judge it, babies are blessings and they can’t get here without the will of God. The sin is in the ACT…NOT in child.

You ain’t goin’ NOWHERE Bird! Just take a breather like I did…need to see your font.
