When three words come to the rescue
Description
Imagine if three simple words could help first responders find you faster in an emergency.
That’s exactly what this episode is all about — how the what3words app is making that possible.
Acting Fire Chief Matt Richardson and Michael Atkins, fire prevention officer, from Welland Fire and Emergency Services (WFES) are back to explain how this innovative, user-friendly tool divides the world into 3-by-3 metre squares and assigns each with a unique three-word address. This is a game-changer when it comes to communicating precise locations, especially in moments when every second counts.
We’re exploring why WFES is adopting what3words, how it compares to traditional location methods, and how residents can start using it today.

Whether you’re on a trail, at a park, or anywhere without a clear address, what3words can help emergency services find you.
