Summary

The March 1991 Beaver Beacon published Joe Moore’s public guidance on when to call Beaver Island’s emergency number, covering fire, medical, police, and rescue situations and distinguishing them from routine requests.

Evidence limits

This is public education, not a dispatch log, EMS protocol, medical standard, or incident record.

  1. Joe Moore explains that callers should declare fires, serious medical problems, and active police or rescue emergencies through the emergency number, while routine information and non-urgent matters should use other channels; he says responding trained personnel determine whether an emergency has ended. The holding institution's portal restricts automated access; the archive holds a copy of this issue and can provide it on request.
