 II> We have "Enhanced 911" here... it not only tells the operator your
 II> name, address and phone number, but also other information, such as
 II> handicaps, medical conditions or other things which a fire/rescue
 II> person/crew should know, and that information is available to the
 II> dispatcher within seconds after the call comes in.
 How does the dispatcher know the caller's name if they're at a pay phone?
 How does the dispatcher know the caller is handicapped or has some other
 medical problem if they use a pay phone?
 That's not the kinda data your local phone company is compiling.
 Betcha all E911 gives the dispatcher is an address and phone number, and
 the rest of that data is in the communication center's computer.  That's
 the sort of information the fire companies gather when they're out of the
 station conducting pre-fire inspections and planning.
... 9-1-1...If you are calling to report a fire, press 1 now.....
