A new text messaging service has been launched, allowing people to send emergency service requests on their mobile phones.
It's aimed primarily at those with hearing difficulties, and is being spearheaded by the Fire and Rescue Service, and Manx Telecom.
Fire Officer Peter Killey (pictured) says the launch was the culmination of weeks of hard work:
Douglas Tesco store evacuated due to 'maintenance issue'
Emergency services confirm they are not responding to an incident
Douglas Council to hold a Victory over Japan memorial service
It will honour the 'immense bravery' of the people who served in the conflict
Work to drain Clypse Reservoir well underway
Underwater valve found to be defective during recent routine inspection
Laxey Flour could be removed from Tesco shelves
It's thought to be due to low sales
