Local businesses donate to install emergency phone at Deception Pass Bridge

Press Release: September 25, 2018:

Yvette Fletcher, Island County Jail Medical Director and Owner of North End Medical Professional Corporation along with Brett and Terica Ginther, owners of Deception Pass Tours have teamed up to donate a much needed 911 Emergency “Red Line” phone at the Deception Pass bridge.  The Deception Pass area is known to have little to no cellular telephone reception which has caused issues in timely reporting of emergencies.  This Red Line phone will allow direct communication with the ICOM Dispatch Center bridging the gap in communication and allowing decreased delay in the reporting of emergencies, allowing Emergency Medical Services and Law Enforcement to respond quicker.

 We would like to thank Yvette, Brett and Terica for this generous donation and their interest in helping keep our community safe.
