i know dispatch has been criticized and is under review in this instance.
i want to give them the benefit of the doubt. nobody thinks "oh this guy just murdered his kids and blew up the house". kind of hard to wrap your mind around.
even if dispatcher was inadequate and possibly even incompetent, nothing would have saved them.
the dept. may want to review their training of 911 personnel.
