And Bruce I appreciate the concern, but somehow I managed to
survive for roughly 40 years without having 911 phone service and I
really think I could do it again if I had to. Besides, if I lived
any closer to the county Sheriff's office, I would have to yell
each morning for the turnkey to let me out so I could go to work!
LOL! we used to live next door to the police station in Ossining.
(yep, 'up the river', home of Sing Sing) They had the volunteer FD
horn on their roof. Sounded like a giant gander being hit in the
private parts.
This has been an issue with VOIP services around the country, though,
and is currently an issue before the FCC. People have called 911 and
not gotten connected to anything; and in many places that's the only
contact for emergency services.
