Nature: Automatic Crash Notification

Address: Indian Mission Rd and Fishermans Rd Millsboro, DE 19966

On Saturday evening, June 6^th, the Indian River Volunteer Fire Company and Mid Sussex Rescue Squad were alerted for an automatic crash notification in the area of Indian Mission Road and Fisherman’s Road.

Emergency response units from Indian River included Rescue 80 from the Oak Orchard facility and Squad 80 from the Long Neck facility as well as the Delaware State Fire Police. 

All emergency response units were cancelled after personnel could not identify any vehicle related incident in the area and no response to callback confirmation attempts.

CRASH DETECTION ALERT – DON’T IGNORE THE CALLBACK!

Your iPhone or Apple Watch may automatically detect a crash and contact emergency services. But did you know it can also trigger accidentally if you drop your device?

If you receive a call from 911 after a drop — ANSWER IT.  Let them know you’re safe.

Failing to respond can tie up emergency resources and delay help for someone in a real emergency. Help us so we can help someone who needs emergency services.

The Indian River Volunteer Fire Company urges everyone:

• ? Be aware of how crash detection works.

• ? Respond to callbacks from emergency services.

• ?? Share this message. Save lives.
