What3Words app helps Brookville Fire Department find lost individuals
Previous coverage on Brookville. DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) – Finding yourself in an emergency situation without any nearby landmarks can be extremely distressing. The Brookville Fire Department (BFD) would like to remind people the free What3Words app can help them find exactly where they are. 'Street addresses help us find you most of the time. But trees all look the same, and do not have addresses. So, if you are in a park or stadium, or any other large area, What3Words can help. Latitude and Longitude locations are extremely specific, but it is easy to mess up their long string of numbers,' wrote the BFD. If you find yourself needing to use the app while calling 911, there are three steps to remember. Open the app. Wait a few seconds and you will see a blue dot. Locate yourself. Tap the airplane icon (iPhone) or the crosshair icon (Android). You will see three words at the bottom of your screen. Give the three words. Read these words over the phone to emergency services. 'We already have several examples where What3Words has helped us find the exact location of lost people and caller locations,' wrote the BFD. The app itself can be used anytime, free of charge, for any reason – from being lost to finding new locations. Click here to learn more. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
