Use the GPS to see what road you are on and call them on your mobile
so they can get the mobile to tell them exactly where you are.
You know the names of the villages and that is all.

Could the phone operator not work it out?

They should be able to if you call using your mobile.

I don't think cellphone calls forward GPS coordinates, even if your
phone has GPS. I suppose you could take a photo of the fire (or
whatever) and email it to them, provided you have turned geotagging on.

Recent phones should send location automatically. Google implemented
Advanced Mobile Location (AML) on Android in 2017. It's on iOS now too.

Whether BT's operators or the emergency services can access it is
another matter on which I am ignorant.
