MESSAGE ABOUT
INTERNET PHONE SERVICE ***
Speedsville Fire Co. reminds you that if you are a Tompkins County Resident and have phone service other than the traditional land line, you need to check with your phone service provider to make sure that any 911 calls made from your phone will be directed to the Tompkins County 911 Communications Center. There have been several incidents locally when Internet and cable service 911 calls were directed to another county's 911 Center and precious emergency response time was lost in redirecting the call to the correct 911 Center. If your phone service is bundled with internet service (VoiceOverInternetProtocol) through Time Warner, DirecTV, Vonage, etc., check with them to make sure that your provider has set up to have your 911 calls to go to Tompkins County. When correctly set up, your 911 phone calls will allow Tompkins Cty. Dispatchers to promptly send emergency crews. You should also be aware that most VOIP providers do not share your name, telephone number or address with the County's 911 Center. Further, if there is a power outage in your area, you may not be able to call at all. If you have any further questions about 911 calls and emergency fire and medical services for Tompkins County, you may contact the Tompkins County Department of Emergency Response at 607-257-3888. If you reside in another county (Tioga, Broome, Etc.) ,Contact your local fire department or County agengy for more information. Read more here from the FCC's official web site.
