911 Dispatch

If you need an ambulance, call 9-1-1. Be prepared to give your location and specific information about what type of assistance (law enforcement, fire department, ambulance, etc.) is needed.
In many cases, the dispatcher will remain on the line with you until help arrives. 9-1-1 may provide specific information on first aid measures that can be initiated prior to EMS arrival. Do not hang up until the 9-1-1 operator tells you to hang up.
