I also had a possible fire emergency at my house, used cell phone as the cable phone was not hooker up yet. When the 911 operator answered, the first thing I asked was where she was located, Sumter Country was the reply. I few moments later I was transferred to the fire dispatcher, and very shortly later the fire company was at my door step. As it turns out there was no fire, just the smell (long story....).
Also, most of the newer phones have GPS capability, and I believe this is automatically turned on for 911 calls.
NOTE: if you have Comcast modem, it is registered to your HOUSE address, therefore, if you take this to a friends house, and call 911, guess what.... they go to YOUR house, not the house you are calling from!!!!
