“What 3 Words” app helps Plympton hikers to safety

August 8, 2025 By Stephani Teran

At approximately 10:30 a.m. on Monday, Aug.4, Regional Old Colony Communication Center received a call for two hikers disoriented in Cato’s Ridge Preserve. The Plympton Fire Department and Plympton Police responded. Thanks to coordination from the dispatcher and the “What 3 Words” app, a program that lets users easily share and navigate their exact location, the hikers were safely located and returned to their vehicle without incident.
