| A fire, an automobile
accident, a robbery, a burglary, a prowler
outside your home, when someone is sick
or injured so badly that they need to
go to the hospital. It is going to be
an emergency situation. In all these situations
you need to dial 15.
Stay calm! Before picking up the phone,
take a deep breath and do your best to
relax.
Pick up the phone, listen for dial tone,
and then dial 15. That's all, just two
numbers 15.
When the dispatcher answers, simply state
what you need; I need the police, I want
to report a fire, I need an ambulance.
The dispatcher will then ask for the address
or location of the emergency. This is
very important! Do you and othermembers
of your family/workforce all know your
address? If not, let everyone know! Better
yet, mark the address by each telephone
- that way it will be easy to remember.
Do you know what city or township you
are located in?
