Emergency Help - Call 911

Emergency assistance is available to you every day of the year, 24 hours a day. Dial 911 if you need the immediate assistance of a police officer, firefighter or paramedic. If you are dialing from a pay phone, you do not need to deposit coins. To help the dispatcher send appropriate help, try to remain calm so you can describe the problem. (If you are unable to speak in most instances your location is displayed in the 911 center so dispatchers will be able to send help.)

Call 911 if you witness or find yourself in an emergency situation such as -

• Accident
• Injury or medical emergency
• Fire
• Strong gas smell inside a building
• Intruder
• Suspicious person(s)/activity
• Crime in progress
• Violent/potentially violent individual(s).

If you aren't sure whether the situation constitutes an emergency, don't hesitate to call 911. The 911 dispatcher will determine what assistance is appropriate.
