Canada to Australia 911

A woman on Ontario province (Canada) was video-chatting with a friend in Australia, when the friend left the computer to go outside to use a ladder. Moments later the friend fell from the ladder, injuring himself. The woman dialed the city of Cornwall on 911, and dispatchers there used the Internet to obtain a telephone number for Melbourne emergency services. The Cornwall dispatchers made the call, and within 15 minutes the friend was being treated by EMTs, who assured the friend via the Webcam that he was in good hands. [It took me less than 12 seconds to find the phone number for Melbourne’s Fire Brigade using a Google search.]
