Spokane Fire Department Dispatcher Tonya Peone was honored last week by the Spokane County EMS council as Dispatcher of the year. Tonya was nominated for her handling of a 911 call invovling a two car double extrication car accident. Tonya was able, through the help of the caller, to protect the patients airway. One patient had blood and teeth in the mouth and a decreased level of consciousness. Triage the incident to direct the emergency personnel to the most critical patient. She also kept bystanders from causing more harm as they were trying to break windows to remove patients.
The award is a great example of the important work the Spokane Fire Department Dispatchers do every day. Dispatchers like Tonya truly make a difference in lives in Spokane everyday.
