 Internet Telephone Cannot Use 9-1-1

Voice Over Internet (VoIP) telephone service is the latest rage – but you cannot use 9-1-1!  This situation is similar to when cell phones could not access 9-1-1, and it took many years to begin the process of fixing the problem (and it isn’t fixed yet).  Our recommendation is not to purchase VoIP at this time, but if you do, you must dial our direct emergency number 281-444-FIRE (3473) for emergencies.  This method precludes automatic data bursts of your address and phone number that hinders our computer aided dispatch.  Please consider asking the specific company if 9-1-1 works with VoIP.  Some companies MAY have systems that are being developed.

Please be sure to use lawn chemicals according to directions and make certain that you store them away from children.  Try not to store more than one gallon of gasoline in an approved container, and never store your swimming pool chemicals close to other products.  Be sure to NEVER mix swimming pool chemicals.

Car Seat Inspection Stations

CCEMS has recently been assigned as one of only 6 Houston Area Child Safety Seat Inspection Stations by the SAFE KIDS Greater Houston organization.  Inspection Stations educate parents on child passenger safety, inspect car seats and booster seats, and assist with seat replacement when possible.  Certified Car Seat Inspectors from CCEMS and local law enforcement agencies will be manning the inspection station in the FM 1960 area. There is no cost for this service.
