a real explanation of how 911 works - they also have good info about house numbers
https://sacopeerescue.com/ ABOUT US Sacopee Rescue has been in service since 1969. We are licensed at the EMT level and permitted to the Paramedic level. We respond to approximately 1000 emergency 911 calls per year. We serve the towns of Cornish, Hiram, Porter, and Parsonsfield. The population for our area is approximately 6500 covering more than 155 square miles. OUR LOCAL 911 CALL SYSTEM When calling 911 from your home phone, any where in our area, the call goes directly to our dispatcher in Augusta. If you use a cell phone in the middle of our coverage area it also goes directly to the Augusta location. If a cell phone is used in the outer area of Parsonsfield your call will go to the Sanford dispatch center. The Sanford dispatcher will take your information then transfer your call to Augusta dispatch. The Augusta dispatch will then ask again for your information then dispatch the call. If a cell phone is used in the outer area of Porter your call will go to the Oxford County dispatch center. The Oxford dispatcher will take your information then will transfer your call to Augusta dispatch. The Augusta dispatch will then ask again for your information and then dispatch the call. Because the outer area CELL phone calls go through two dispatchers there is a slight delay in our crew getting the needed information. This happens because of the cell towers in our area. -- shes got a kid ... together - https://youtu.be/IQQ-hxIwm70?si=8jrwZRcfZg-vN4Ye&t=237 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
