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:
Overnight sailings cancelled due to adverse weather
7:45pm Manxman crossing and its return have been called off
Rapist who 'terrorised' his victim told his sentence was 'entirely justified'
Fayle jailed for 18 years and 9 months
Complaints process for health system changed
Patients told to direct concerns to service used
Discovery of oiled birds 'makes a mockery of our biosphere status'
Manx Wild Bird Aid say it's a recurring problem in Peel
