Cell phones have proliferated across even this rural state which leads to the problem of how to identify the location of a cellular call for help. There is no good system, yet, for these cellular calls, and the dispatchers still will be relying on the caller's ability to ascertain their own location on the highway.
Fire protection is provided by a highly trained volunteer department .
