Re: Installing Medical alert systems real pain to firefighters

["ABLE_1" <able1no@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sounds like the outfit that was working in Central Pa. a few years ago.
Heard some people paid up to $5000 for a little box and a smoke detector.
Once things started to heat up for them (the authorities looking for them)
they cut the phone lines,  locked the doors and vanished.

It is sad when this stuff happens because it makes the rest of "US" look
bad.  I hope that somebody gets caught big time.
