EMERGENCY SERVICES
There are four emergency services that will come to your aid if you are in trouble. They are the Police, Fire Brigade, Ambulance Service and Gas Service. Emergency services are usually free. There is information below how to use each service.
There are 2 other kinds of phone numbers to call emergencies. The difference is from what telephone you call – cellular or land line. The emergency services can be contacted by dialing 101, 102, 103, 104 or you can dial 112, the number of the Unified Emergency Service. These calls are free. If you call to the Unified Emergency Service, you will be connected to a call handler who will ask you which service you need. You should give them as much information as you are able to, this will usually include your name and where you are calling from. Try to stay as calm as possible when you speak to the call handler and speak clearly, as it is important that they understand what the emergency is and what help is needed.
Fire Brigade
The fire brigade should be called immediately if you have a fire in your home, or you see a fire somewhere else. You should get everyone out of the property as quickly as possible, don't stop to pick up belongings, as this might put you in danger. Then call the fire brigade on 101. All 101 calls are recorded and you are breaking the law if you make a hoax emergency call.
Police
The police can help you in emergencies such as violence, robbery or where someone has committed any sort of crime. There is the telephone number 102 you can contact the police on both to report crimes that do not need an immediate police response and are not emergencies (damage of your property or suspected drug dealing in your area) and real emergencies, where the police need to attend urgently (serious assault on a person or where there is danger to life).
Ambulance
You can call an ambulance in an emergency, when someone is seriously ill or injured. For example, in a serious road accident where people have been hurt. If there is a danger to life, someone collapses and is unconscious or is taken suddenly very ill you should call an ambulance on 103. Do not call an ambulance for minor ailments or injuries, such as small cuts, colds and flu. The call handler will ask you for details of the illness or injury.
Emergency physicians give first aid which refers to medical attention that is usually administered immediately after the injury occurs and at the location where it occurred. It often consists of a one-time, short-term treatment and requires little technology or training to administer. First aid can include cleaning minor cuts, scrapes, or scratches; treating a minor burn; applying bandages and dressings; the use of non-prescription medicine; draining blisters; removing debris from the eyes; massage; and drinking fluids to relieve heat stress.
