Surry County first responders had two similar but unrelated calls in the past week that highlight the benefit of phone tracking technology.
On Friday night, a Mount Airy mother was worried when her 17-year-old daughter missed curfew and couldn’t be reached, according to Surry County Emergency Services Coordinator John Shelton. She used a tracking app on her phone to pinpoint her daughter’s location to Pilot Knob State Park Road in Pilot Mountain.
