Gettin' a bit tired of posting anything positive about Mexico. It would be interesting to see a forum from another country about the U.S. and Canada.
I'm not putting Mexico down. Just being realistic. I was pleasantly surprised to see 911 in operation. This is a positive move and a positive post. I'm not detracting from that.
As for the dispatchers speaking only Spanish, it would be hard to find a 911 operator in British Columbia that speaks fluent Spanish. Or even French and that is an official language in Canada.
I once took an ambulance line in order to assist with a Spanish speaker, and a colleague took a couple of calls in German. I don't expect 911 operators in Mexico to speak English. Just hope that should I need to use it my Spanish would be up to the task or I'd be lucky enough to find an English speaker.
