What is an emergency?
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?
