AFD Communications Center
The Anchorage Fire Department Communications Center is the central point of contact for EMS and Fire activity in the Municipality of Anchorage. The center is staffed with highly trained professional public safety communicators who are nationally accredited in Emergency Medical Dispatch (EMD) and Emergency Fire Dispatch (EFD), as well as being CPR certified. They assist citizens calling 911 or the non-emergency number by gathering information, providing pre-arrival instructions and basic life-saving assistance as necessary. A computer-aided dispatch system and Windows-based telephone system combine to allow communicators to gather and then disseminate information quickly when handling emergency calls.
