This is an unknown issue in B.C. We need as much publicity on filling the holes in our 9-1-1 service. I have my whole life known people on the inside who agree whole heartedly that there are holes, and too many at that. When calling 9-1-1, you should be talking with someone who at least knows the town you are in. I would much much rather see something much closer to being IN Cranbrook. Fast responses and proper information are essential, and when our ONLY emergency option cannot get it together and get it right, this is what happens. Rest In Peace, Tammy. After speaking with Lynn, I can tell your memory is more than alive.
