LIGHTNING STRIKES 911 CENTER - Computer And TV Equipment Destroyed |
(07/06/2003) |
Calhoun's 911 Center has been struck by lightning again. One of the main locator computers was knocked out, according to dispatcher Joe Tanner."We switched to other back-up equipment," he said. Two TV sets were also destroyed, one in the 911 center and another used by Calhoun EMS. The center had to replace a computer after a power surge during last winter's ice storm. The center has been struck by lightning several times, damaging equipment, although numerous efforts have been made to improve protection. |
