An Oklahoma man says he is trying to change how fast first responders can make it to a house when someone is in need. His new invention is a special light bulb called âThe Locator 911â and it launched this week for anyone to buy.
Johnathan Harrison was a paramedic for 25 years and said he was in many situations where they couldnât find the person who needed help because the address didnât come up properly in GPS systems. He said sometimes the GPS will give a general location, like a street in a neighborhood, but not always the exact house.
Harrison said the inspiration for this light bulb invention came in 2009 when a call came to his unit for a two-year-old in cardiac arrest, but when they got to the location, they couldnât find the child.
âWhen we finally got to the correct driveway there were four mobile homes scattered, we had no idea which to go to,â Harrison said.
