Tonight we'll be taking a look at a couple of professions that we've all come to depend on. Firefighters and dispatchers that handle the 911 calls. Gwyneth: As you know 911 is the telephone number that can get you immediate help for almost any emergency. But the system depends on skilled operators and reports and as Jeff Schaffer reports, many of the 911 centers are finding that new dispatchers simply can't handle the stress and complexity of the

job. Officials at both Portland Community College and Clackamas Community College say there's a lot of interest in the new 911 dispatcher program. More than 250 people applied for 60 openings. Classes will be getting underway in September. The next profession we'll be looking at-- oh that must be you. [Jim] Yeah. Are we, uh, are we doing 731 first? We have different-- Yes, that's correct.
