Used my cell for 911 this week from our Hadley address, which I think is inches from the Lake County line. "Lake County 911, what's the nature of your emergency?" My response was, "We're in Sumter County. I need an ambulance." In seconds I had the Sumter dispatcher asking our address and telling me EMS was on the way. Then she asked questions about the patient's issue. We'd barely gotten off the phone when the EMT's arrived. I'm relieved to know that the system works well for home addresses.
