ABSTRACT:
Apparatus is disclosed that will temporarily identify a building, house, or other structure to which emergency personnel have been dispatched. The apparatus, which is activated remotely by an emergency service dispatcher, includes, in one embodiment, a high-intensity stroboscopic light emitting diode (LED) placed in a location that is visible from the exterior of the structure, especially from the street.
The circuit that activates and deactivates the LED is triggered by the dispatcher, who causes a specific tone to be transmitted over the telephone line after an individual in the structure telephones the emergency dispatcher.
This new apparatus allows the practice of a new method for assuring that dispatched emergency personnel quickly and easily find the emergency site when they arrive at the general locale of the emergency. The method involves the activating of the dispatcher-activated response identification light (as the apparatus is called) by the dispatcher over the telephone line used by the person who telephones for emergency help.
