Lately, I've heard Dallas Fire Rescue units asking, at times for the caller's what3words, especially when dealing with a stretch of one of the interstates where there is no other specific landmark, or physical address, easily accessible. For example, last Friday night, DFR Engine 43 requested the caller's 'what3words', for a call somewhere on I-35E that was on the [poorly marked section of Stemmons Fwy between Regal Row & Storey Lane. 660 (DFR dispatch) advised, after a couple of minutes, that the requested information had been added to comments for the call. The engine company found the caller fairly quickly after that info was provided. I'm occasionally hearing references to this app on the Dallas PD patrol channel that covers my area of the city.
