Waukesha County will be in the spotlight when a new series debuts featuring Waukesha County Communication dispatchers.
The ABC unscripted series is called "Emergency Call." The new 10-episode series, hosted by actor Luke Wilson, will document the first few crucial minutes of emergencies told through the lens of America's heroic 911 call takers. The series premieres 9 p.m. Sept. 28 on ABC. "Taking the time to honor and highlight the difficult work of our 911 professionals pays tribute to our true first responders," said Gary Bell, Director of Emergency Preparedness in a press release. "Our 911 dispatchers hold the line taking life-saving action before medical personnel, fire services, or law enforcement are able to arrive at the scene of emergency. They must be at their best, when society is experiencing its worst."
