Dear FRED,

Thank you so much for being there to help at a time of crisis. Shortly after installing one of your direct dial 911 units my mother fell in her bedroom. She wanted me to help her up but because she looked pale and shocked, I told her to lie still and ran to the unit, pushed the button and ran back to her side. Immediately we were in touch with the local dispatch office which sent a message to the nearby volunteer EMS station and dispatched an ambulance. In the meantime I checked her ability to move. Determined that she had leg pain. Blocked the leg to prevent movement and opened the door for the EMS who had arrived.

Because of FRED my responses were hands free and timely. My mother had broken her leg at the hip and required surgery. In two months she was walking. I now depend on FRED for my personal security.

To know that I can go out on the mower with the remote and, in the event of an accident, summon needed help when working alone is a great comfort.

Sincerely,

Audrey V. Chase
