Share your precise location in an emergency with what3words

In an emergency, timely response requires accurate location information. Relaying your exact location, especially when outdoors or floating down the Sheep River, for example, can be difficult.

The Okotoks Fire Department (OFD) now supports the location-finding app what3words to help locate callers in emergency situations, allowing a quicker response. Download what3words to help the OFD #KnowExactlyWhere you are in an emergency.
