The first test of Jacksonville’s CodeRED service went off without a hitch, city officials said Friday.
A total of 1,520 city homes were called and 937 were reached - about 61 percent, Jacksonville Fire Chief Rodney Kelley said. It only took four minutes to reach those homes.
“If you didn’t get a call from us at 10 a.m. this morning and you want to be a part of the network, either go to our website and sign up or drop by city hall, the fire department or the police department.”
The city’s Web site, www.jacksonville-texas.com, has a CodeRED link at the bottom left corner of the main page.
