Philippines. Txt Fire volunteers

The Association of Philippine Volunteer Fire Brigades of Davao Citiy launched on Saturday a new SMS service called "Txt Fire," which has already been working in Metro Manila, enabling (preregistered volunteer) citizens to send a text message to a hotline mobile phone number for help in case of a fire.

"The dispatch system through text is the first in the world," Chua said.

To be a Txt Fire volunteer, one needs to register to a hotline number and a prompt reply message will tell you that you have become a volunteer and can report any fire. [via Inq7.net]
