ABOUT US

Sacopee Rescue has been in service since 1969. We are licensed at the
EMT level and permitted to the Paramedic level. We respond to
approximately 1000 emergency 911 calls per year. We serve the towns of
Cornish, Hiram, Porter, and Parsonsfield. The population for our area
is approximately 6500 covering more than 155 square miles.

OUR LOCAL 911 CALL SYSTEM

When calling 911 from your home phone, any where in our area, the
call goes directly to our dispatcher in Augusta. If you use a cell
phone in the middle of our coverage area it also goes directly to the
Augusta location. If a cell phone is used in the outer area of
Parsonsfield your call will go to the Sanford dispatch center. The
Sanford dispatcher will take your information then transfer your call
to Augusta dispatch. The Augusta dispatch will then ask again for your
information then dispatch the call. If a cell phone is used in the
outer area of Porter your call will go to the Oxford County dispatch
center. The Oxford dispatcher will take your information then will
transfer your call to Augusta dispatch. The Augusta dispatch will then
ask again for your information and then dispatch the call. Because the
outer area CELL phone calls go through two dispatchers there is a
slight delay in our crew getting the needed information. This happens
because of the cell towers in our area.
