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.

Yes they do and that is legally mandated.

Can you turn it off?

Nope. So you dont do that accidentally.

I suppose you could take a photo of the fire (or whatever) and email it
to them, provided you have turned geotagging on.

But its less clear if the monkey fielding
the call can actually receive that photo.

If you call using your mobile, you dont
even have to do anything, the system
knows where the phone is even if you
drop dead after making the call and
havent said anything at all.

What if your phone doesn't have GPS?

They do it by triangulation from the mobile bases.
Corse at the extreme where the phone can only
be seen by the one base, you're ****ed and will
have to tell the call center monkey where you are.
