Meriden's Fire Department saved two hikers lost inside Giuffrida Park on Thursday and they were able to save the pair thanks to the Rapid SOS software and app. "The ironic part about this call was that earlier in the day, our communications director from the dispatch center hooked us up with an app called Rapid SOS," said Meriden's Deputy Fire Chief Ryan Dunn. Rapid SOS is a software and app that allows 9-1-1 operators and now Meriden firefighters to pinpoint a person's location after they call for help. Thursday marked the first day and the fire squad put it to use. A call came on Thursday just before 8:00 about a hiker lost inside the park. Within 20 minutes, firefighters were able to get to the park and find the two hikers. The two women got away with only a few scrapes.
