Holcomb Council Approves eDispatch Alert System for Fire Department
Holcomb City Council approves a 13 month contract for the eDispatch emergency alert service to send calls to firefighters personal cell phones. Fire Chief Bill Knight notes the system complements current pagers but delays of 45 seconds to two minutes are unacceptable for primary responders. The council also hires two firefighters and schedules Christmas events and approves trash dumpster purchases.
