Cross-Border Rescue Success! 🌍 A call came into 911 from a man who had experienced a medical emergency while stranded on the water in Minnesota on the outskirts of a small, remote island. His 911 call was accidentally routed to Ontario, Canada, due to cell tower issues, making it difficult to transfer him to the correct U.S. agency. After multiple failed transfers, the man reached the Minnesota State Patrol for help. Using RapidDeploy, Minnesota State Patrol was able to instantly locate the man’s precise position. They quickly provided accurate coordinates to local rescue teams, ensuring a safe and successful rescue. We love sharing how RapidDeploy enhances emergency response by providing critical location data, even across borders! 💪 #EmergencyResponse #911Technology #SavingLives #InnovationInAction #NextGen911 #NextGen911 #PublicSafety #EmergencyResponse #LightningApp #MissionMatters #FirstResponders #GovTech
