All about Emergency Numbers

Emergency numbers, such as 999 or 112, connect you to police, fire and ambulance services. Use them only in a real emergency and stay calm when giving your location.

Knowing your full address helps the operator find you.

Only call an emergency number when someone is in danger or needs urgent help. Calling for a pretend emergency wastes valuable time.

When you call, stay calm and tell the operator where you are, what has happened and whether anyone is hurt. Follow their instructions, and do not hang up until they tell you to.
