Who would you call in an emergency? The answer is 911. You don't need to know the number for the police, sheriff, fire department, nor the hospital in an emergency. For an emergency just dial 911. For non-emergency calls, dial specific department numbers instead. Non-emergency calls include request for information and request to talk to emergency personnel. An emergency can be any type of incident where injury to people or property may occur. Examples of an emergency may be accidents with injuries, fires of any kind, medical emergencies, and any crime that is in progress.
