Tracy Residents Now Have To Pay For 911 Calls - cbs13.com
This is terrible. I foresee this situation: Someone gets in a wreck or has a medical emergency on a sidewalk somewhere and this has the potential to cause someone to think twice about calling 911 to help.
Tracy residents will now have to pay every time they call 9-1-1 for a medical emergency.
But there are a couple of options. Residents can pay a $48 voluntary fee for the year which allows them to call 9-1-1 as many times as necessary.
Or, there's the option of not signing up for the annual fee. Instead, they will be charged $300 if they make a call for help.
