When should I call 9-1-1? |
|
9-1-1 should be called to report a fire, save a life, or report an emergency.
9-1-1 should never be used for
non-emergencies or to test your phone. If you call
9-1-1 for service that is not
considered an emergency you will either be told to call a police routine number (see listing here) or you will be
transferred to the routine call operator. Use of 9-1-1 for non-emergencies ties up
not only the incoming phone line but the dispatcher who could be fielding an emergency
call.
