Trumbull 911 agrees to dispatch fire, ambulance calls for Milton Township, Craig Beach

WARREN — Though a formal agreement isn’t likely until Aug. 6, Trumbull County’s 911 center is set to begin Friday dispatching fire and ambulance calls for Milton Township and the village of Craig Beach in Mahoning County.

Mike Dolhancryk, Trumbull 911 director, said he views the tentative agreement for a cross-county relationship to be an indication that the township has faith in the abilities of his dispatching center.

Milton is studying an agreement that calls for the township to pay $400 per month to have fire and ambulance calls (about 360 per year) forwarded to Trumbull 911 for dispatching, Dolhancryk said.

Police calls will remain with Mahoning County 911 center for dispatching to the Milton Township and Craig Beach police departments, said Clark Jones, director of the Mahoning County Emergency Management Agency and director of the county dispatching center in Youngstown.
