VIDEO: Metro firefighters have been hearing a voice from the future for the past week and they say it’s saving them up to 20 seconds in getting out the door on emergency calls. That voice is being generated as part of a computer upgrade sending automated voice dispatch instructions. It sounds as if Siri or Alexa sneaked into the system but this voice goes by the name Samantha – a voice calmly alerting firefighters and medics to emergencies. Samantha has been on the job at Station 52 since last Friday. Battalion Chief Scott Fitzpatrick said, “This is the only station in Omaha now where it’s up and running.”
