Mobile Phones

In today's modern rescue service, a mobile phone is useful. Urgent updates back to the control room, photo's taken to assist in training or for passing to the bomb disposal teams.

Even when our pagers go off and its a team call out, I normally back the page up with a text message so the team know what they are about to get.

A mobile phone .......useful but not waterproof!

Waterproof ( and someone is bound to point out there is a phone on the market that is waterproof) I hear you ask? Did someone drop a phone off a cliff into the water, did someone walk along the pier and it fall out of a pocket?

If only the story was just that, fancy someone on holiday in the sun jumping into the swimming pool and then realising their phone is in their swimming trunk pocket.....priceless!
