Calling 911

When you have to call 911, it can be a very scary time.  Someone you know or a family member are experiencing an emergency.  This could be a medical issue, a fire, or vehicle accident.  During this emergency your call will be received by a dispatcher.  They will attempt to get as much information as they can to allow us to better serve you at the incident.  It will seem like a lot of questions and you will feel that the questions they are asking are slowing down responders to the scene.  This is not the case.  When they know what the emergency is and where it is, they immediately send out the resources.  You are answering questions while units are on their way to you.  This is what you should be prepared to answer.
