Below are some tips for when you should or should not call 9-1-1

9-1-1 is only to be used ONLY in emergency situations. An emergency is any situation that requires immediate assistance from the police, the fire departments or an ambulance. If you are ever in doubt of whether a situation is an emergency you should call 9-1-1. It's better to be safe and let the 9-1-1 call taker determine if you need emergency assistance.

Examples of When to Call 9-1-1:

· Heart attack or stroke

· House fire

· Domestic violence

· Crime in progress

· Car accidents with injuries

Do not call 9-1-1

· For information

· When the power is out

· To report a broken fire hydrant

· When your water pipes burst

· To get a ride for doctor's appointment

· For paying tickets

· For your pet

· As a prank

· Because it is the only number you could find

Never Prank Call 9-1-1
It's a prank call when someone calls 9-1-1 for a joke, or calls 9-1-1 and hangs up. If 9-1-1 lines or call takers are busy with prank calls, someone with a real emergency may not be able to get the help they need. In most places, it's against the law to make prank 9-1-1 calls.
