On February 27, 2024, Telecommunications Operator Lyz Wood of the Pampa Police Department in Pampa Texas, was dealing with several wildfires that were threatening the city of Pampa and the county.
At the start of the wildfires Lyz took control of the situation by first ensuring that all the involved agencies were informed about how the wildfires were unfolding. Lyz was in contact with the EOC and making sure everyone was on the same page. Lyz was also checking in on her co-workers who were handling 9-1-1 calls and radio traffic to ensure they did not need any further assistance.
Please join us in congratulating Telecommunications Operator Lyz Wood on her calm in a chaotic situation, her eye for detail and her teamwork, which ensured the best possible outcome during the wildfires.
