Hueytown mayor highlights new Nature Preserve; fire chief describes What3Words safety app
Summary
Mayor Stephen M. Ware celebrated the Nature Preserve ribbon-cutting and credited local media; Fire Chief Sullivan said the What3Words app with QR-coded signage is installed to help dispatch locate hikers.
Mayor Stephen M. Ware told the City Council on June 23 that the recent ribbon-cutting at the new Nature Preserve drew strong usage and positive local media coverage. He thanked Public Works personnel for clearing storm-related debris from the trails.
Fire Chief Sullivan described the department’s deployment of the What3Words safety app in the preserve. The chief said stickers with QR codes are on signage so hikers can download the app; if lost or injured, a hiker can give dispatch three words that identify a location within a 10-foot square.
The mayor cited television and local coverage (WBRC and Birmingham Now) for the event. No policy changes or funding requests related to the preserve were recorded in the meeting minutes; the council had no recorded debate on these items.
