DeWitt County fire departments will notice a significant improvement in communication later this year when a new communication line is added. 

DeWitt County 9-1-1 Coordinator, Karen Clevenger, explains that a new line for DeWitt County fire departments is going to improve coordination and communication between firefighters. She indicates the old lines just become outdated.

Clevenger indicates much of this work began before she started at the CENCOM office about ten months ago. They are anticipating a spring installation for the new lines.

According to Clevenger, the current setup can become congested due to all the traffic going through a single line of communication.
