Using the Emergency Services

Dialling the 999 or 112 Service. Remember if it's not a real Emergency to call 101 for the Police or 111 for medical guidance.

When you dial 999, your call will be answered by a telephone exchange operator who will ask you which emergency service you require and the telephone number that you are dialing from. You must then stay on the line where you will then be connected to the appropriate Control Room in the area you are calling from, not the local fire, police or ambulance station.

As you are being connected to the Service you may hear the telephone exchange operator passing your telephone number to the appropriate control operator.

The Control Operator Will Ask You Some Questions

What is the problem?
What is the address?
What is the nearest main road?
What town are you in?

Don't put the telephone down until all the details have been taken

ICE - In case of emergency

In an emergency situation, emergency personnel are faced with on the spot decisions. When every second counts, emergency personnel need answers fast so they can quickly and effectively give you or your loved ones the medical attention they so desperately need.

ICE (In Case of Emergency) is here to assist and help the emergency services on your behalf, should you become involved in an emergency situation. If you have ICE in your phone you can help the emergency services by providing an emergency contact or medical information.

When ICE., In Case of Emergency, is typed in front of a loved one’s name, it will instantly let the rescue services know who to contact. In fact anyone with a mobile phone can take part in the program. It’s easy, it’s free.

When emergency crews respond to an accident, one of the first things they will do is try to track down the victim's mobile phone. They will look through the mobile phone's contact list looking for an ICE. listing.

To set up ICE on your mobile:

Step 1:Create an entry or edit a contact in your mobile phone
Step 2: Name the contact ICE followed by name or information
Step 3: Save the number as your emergency contact
