Dispatched From 5,500 Miles Away

A friend with London Ambulance Service recently fielded an emergency call from resident who was video-chatting with a young lady from California, who apparently overdosed and passed out, right there on camera.

Thanks to Google, perseverance, a few phone calls and a helpful guy at LAPD, they were able to dispatch the fire department to the girl’s home.

From London frickin’ England.

Yet, we have some -not all, but some – drones in the Borg’s Dispatch Hive that cannot reliably dispatch the closest available ambulance to an emergency scene across town.

I wonder if we can work a dispatcher foreign exchange program?
