TURNER — Effective Monday morning, Turner Rescue will be dispatched from the 911 center at the Androscoggin County Sheriff’s Department.

All calls for emergency medical services in Turner, Leeds and the portion of Hartford served by Turner Rescue must be made by dialing 911.

Some residents are still calling the old Turner Rescue number, which was 225-2227. Beginning Monday morning, all calls to that number will be transferred to the Androscoggin County 911 center.

Turner has hired a new rescue chief, Toby Martin, who started work on Monday, Sept. 1.
