Accidents – and fires – do occur and valuable time can be saved if the caller can identify exactly where the incident is. We would therefore encourage everyone with a smartphone to download the free app whatwords. It breaks down the Common – and indeed the entire world – into square metre blocks by giving each one a unique combination of three words. By providing these three words to the emergency services, you might just be able to save some vital minutes.
