Because Truro
depends primarily on volunteer personnel in the event of a fire or rescue,
private vehicles are used when responding to these calls. Most are
equipped with a red light and/or siren. We urge you to use caution and be
considerate if you should encounter one of these vehicles on the road. |

| As of May 11,
2007 the Town of Truro is using an Enhanced 911 system equipped with GPS
mapping
of all incoming emergency calls, even from cell phones. The system
gives the telecommunicator the ability to see on a map where the caller is
located, whether it's on a landline or a cell phone. It provides the
callers latitude and longitude coordinates within 50 to 300 yards on a
computer screen The computerized
mapping also includes information such as the caller's telephone number and
service provider.
This new system, which is scheduled to be
installed in all Massachusetts PSAPS, allows for more information regarding
cell phone calls to 911. When someone calls 911 from a cell phone the call
is routed to the Massachusetts State Police and then transferred to the
nearest first responded. If someone is traveling the telecommunicator
has the ability to retransmit the call, so they can actually see what
direction the caller is going on a map. |
