Fort Nelson and the Northern Rockies Municipality are looking for outside help to bring better emergency response to the region.
The area is looking to bring in independent emergency consulting service Pomax to finally bring 9-1-1 service to the area.
As it stands, they are one of the few areas of Canada where residents must dial local 10 digit numbers to reach emergency services.
After numerous attempts with the provincial government falling short, the region is now calling on the service that previously helped make 9-1-1 calling available to rural New Foundland.
