A Brief History of 9-1-1:

In 1958, Congress called for a universal emergency number. After years of discussion and planning, the world’s first 9-1-1 system was introduced in Haleyville, Alabama. On February 16, 1968, Alabama Speaker of the House Rankin Fite made the first call, which was answered by Congressman Tom Bevill on a bright red telephone.

DeKalb County E 9-1-1:

On the November 1990 ballot, the citizens of DeKalb County approved E 9-1-1. After careful planning and testing, our system went live in June 1994. Since then, we have answered over 500,000 calls, providing critical emergency services to our community.
