stormiestlAustralian man rescued during webcam chat
CORNWALL, Ont. (CP) — The 911 emergency system works, even when the emergency is on the other side of the world. An Australian man got help after a 911 call was made to police in Cornwall, Ont. late Sunday night. A Cornwall woman was on her computer using a webcam to talk face-to-face with a friend in Australia. At one point, say police, the man fell from a ladder and could not call for help. His Canadian friend called 911 and Cornwall police dispatchers contacted emergency officials Down Under. Paramedics in Australia arrived to help the man who was understandably confused and apparently suffered injuries to his ribs. The emergency staff were also able to let the Cornwall woman know via the webcam that her friend would be taken to hospital for treatment.
