Overview

• Paoly Bedeski, 22, died in an apartment fire in Wichita, Kansas, after the 911 dispatch center failed to relay her apartment number to firefighters and delayed sounding a second alarm.
• The family of Bedeski and the local firefighters union are blaming the dispatch center's mistakes for her death and are calling for an independent investigation into the center's 'systemic issues'.
• County officials are gathering information and plan to have an advisory board review the incident next week.
• Elora Forshee, director of Sedgwick County Emergency Communications, said Bedeski’s call was not clear enough for the dispatcher to understand that she was trapped.
• Audio from Bedeski's call shows she clearly stated her apartment complex and number after being asked to repeat herself, contradicting Forshee's claim.
