Love this!!! Way to go Lions Club!!!!
Minot Central Dispatch & the Minot Fire Department would like to extend their sincere gratitude to the Magic City Lions for their generous $5,000 donation.
The funds were used to help improve a decompression room — a quiet, comfortable space for dispatchers to use following particularly stressful or emotionally challenging calls. Dispatchers play a critical role as the first point of contact in emergencies, often managing high-stress situations while remaining calm and collected to coordinate lifesaving responses.
These updates have enhanced the room’s comfort and functionality, helping dispatchers take a moment to regroup and recover, and further supporting their mental health and overall well-being.
“We’re incredibly thankful for the Lions Club’s generosity," said Wayne Fahy, Public Safety Telecommunications Center Personnel Manager. "Their support allowed us to improve an important space that gives our dispatchers a chance to step away and reset after difficult calls. It’s a meaningful investment in the well-being of our team.”
“Our dispatchers are the unseen heroes behind every emergency response," Fire Chief Kelli Kronschnabel added. "The Lions Club’s support allows us to give back to them in a meaningful way, ensuring they have a place to recharge after tough calls.”
Minot Central Dispatch and the Minot Fire Department deeply appreciate the Magic City Lions Club’s ongoing commitment to improving the community and supporting those who serve it.
