Bureau Raf Alconbury England a when a fire flared recently in a welding Bay at the Raf Alconbury Auto Hobby shop employees knew How to quickly Call firefighters. They just dialled 911. Although not As dramatic As William Shatner a television series Rescue 911, the mid february enhancements to the emergency Telephone systems in the Raf Alconbury Community have made calling for help almost As easy As in the United states. Alconbury and its satellite bases Raf Molesworth and Raf Upwood Are All connected to the same 911 emergency Telephone system through a Central dispatch Center at the Alconbury fire station. There trained personnel determine whether callers need police fire or medical help. This Wasny to always the Case. Before february there were about 15 different emergency numbers at the three bases said senior master sgt. Carl Glover Alconbury a a fire chief. A obviously it was confusing a Glover said. The 911 system is unique to Raf Alconbury because its population is spread out Glover said. De Keating formerly the manager of the Auto Hobby shop and now a recreation assistant said he did no to have to think twice about what number to Call when the fire started in the welding Bay. Chris Matthews the former assistant Hobby shop manager who also became a recreation assistant agreed. A everything is a lot easier with the 911 system a he said. When a Small fire broke out recently in the Popcorn machine at the Alconbury movie theater the 911 system allowed employees to quickly Call the police and fire departments said Sandra Gibbs a by Joseph Owen Heidelberg Bureau Mannheim Germany a a soldiers wife testifying for three hours tuesday at. A general court martial said an army Captain raped her in his quarters on dec. 1,1993, in Heidelberg. The woman also accused the officer capt. Alvin t. Daniels assigned to the Headquarters of the . Army Europe of striking her three times on the head sodomizing her and forcing her to perform Oral sex on him and another officer. Daniels is charged with rape forcible sodomy assault with intent to rape assault indecent acts communicating a threat adultery and conduct unbecoming to an officer. He is on trial before a panel of six officers in Mannheim. He is contesting the charges. Its the policy of the stars and stripes not to identify the apparent victims of sex crimes. At the time of the incident the woman a husband an army sergeant first class had been away for three Days on temporary duty. The incident which occurred sometime after 3 . At the Patrick Henry Village housing area began at a Heidelberg club where Daniels and the woman had initially met a few hours earlier. In opening statements both the prosecutor and the defense counsel said a Daniels spoke to the 23-year-Olu woman briefly outside the club and later projectionist. A a it a easier to have one emergency number because that Way you can get everyone emergency personnel at once Quot Gibbs said. It was common in the past for people to Call the wrong emergency number which caused delays in response Glover said. Because military medical personnel at the three bases Are not available after Normal duty hours direct emergency Calls to those numbers went unanswered Glover said. The new system allows the fire departments emergency medical technicians to respond immediately 24 hours a Day. It also allows dispatchers to notify British medical authorities on their 999 emergency Telephone system when a medical emergency is with their jurisdiction or when additional medical attention is needed he said dispatchers with 911, also Are Able to Monitor All incoming Calls after they have been diverted to other agencies Glover said. This enables dispatchers to respond immediately if a caller has asked for the wrong Agency or needs multiple agencies to respond. Consolidating dispatch operations was the brainstorm of William Duffy a former civilian employee in the 10th communications so Glover said. The 911 number was assigned to the system because a that is the number they re military members j in tune with in the states a he Saiof. It Cost about $10,000 to revamp the emergency Telephone system but there Are no additional annual costs involved said sgt. Kevin j. Mccartney a telc phone systems technician with the 10th communications so. Glover said the old emergency rim Bers will remain connected to 911 until next year when officials Are certain everyone knows about the new system. She entered his car without saying she wanted to go Home. A Daniels drove to his residence and she followed him inside and accepted a drink. A he went upstairs. She followed him a few seconds later when he called to her and she found him standing in his room with his shirt off. Both sides asserted that sexual rela Lions occurred. They agree that Daniels made a Telephone Call and a fellow officer showed up in the apartment later that the woman attempted to perform Oral sex on that officer and that the second officer left the apartment. The woman testified that she screamed several times while in Daniels apartment and finally had an Opportunity to grab her clothes and run from his House in her underwear. She said she dressed outdoors and flagged Down a military police patrol ear to report what had happened. Police took the woman to a nearby army Hospital where she was examined according to lawyers statements. The Lead prosecutor capt. David Newsome claimed Daniels forced the woman into the sex acts backing his allegations with photographs that purported to show bruises she had suffered. The woman testified that Daniels threatened repeatedly to kill her when she objected to his actions. However defense attorney maj. Mike Klausner contended that the woman turned to the police spontaneously because she Wasny to satisfied with the encounter.
