Heavy rains brought high bacteria levels across Montauk last week, with the Surfside Place outfall pipe downtown leading the way with an off-the-chart enterococcus reading of greater than 24,196.

People see firefighters in their trucks, police officers writing tickets, and ambulances streaking by, but they don’t see the public safety dispatchers, who coordinate any emergency response in East Hampton Town and are also specially trained to give guidance over the phone on everything from CPR to childbirth to electrocution and even getting a car out of submerged water.
