Happy : Birth 9-1-1 HAPPY BIRTHDAY 9-1-1 CLIPART Happy Birthday 9-1-1! 49 years ago today, By 1967, President years ago today, the first-ever 911 call took place in Haleyville, Alabama. When Alabama Speaker of the House Rankin Fite dialed those three digits, he was connect ed to Congressman Tom Bevill, who was wait ing for the call at the local police station. The occasion marked the first successful implementation of '911' as a designated telephone number for reporting emergencies. The push to establish a universal emergen cy number began in 1957, when the National Association of Fire Chiefs advocated for the use of a single tele phone number to report fires. The United States Congress began explor ing the idea in 1958. ScotBilt Homes has Immediate Job Openings!

Johnson's Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Justice recommended that a single number be estab lished nationwide for all emergencies, rather than having multiple telephone numbers for different types of emer gencies. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) even tually got involved and met with AT&T in 1967 to put the rubber to the road. "9-1-1" became the established emergen cy code because of its brevity and uniqueness. No other area code, ser vice code, or office code had been assigned yet to this three-digit combina tion. Most importantly, it was easy to remember. AT&T continued its work toward unveiling the first 911 system, which it planned to debut in Huntington, Indiana. However, in a bit of a tech nological arms race, the independent Alabama Telephone Company rushed to implement its own system. It did so in Haleyville, AL, in February 1968, beat ing AT&T to the punch. By 1977, 17% of the United States had 911 service. Today, nearly all municipalities have access to a 911 emergen cy communication sys tem. Fun fact: Emanuel County established 911 October 31, 1994! This year, the local office will celebrate 27 years serv ing the local community! Thank you all for your dedication and hard work over the years!
