RAINSVILLE, Ala. — The brand new E-911 Jimmy Wright Emergency Operations Center is now open for business. 

On Thursday, the new center welcomed visitors for tours and held a dedication for the new building.

The center, located in Rainsville, serves the citizens of DeKalb County, minus Fort Payne, by responding to all 911 calls in the county. 

With this new center, county officials hope to be better prepared for incoming emergencies from across DeKalb County.
