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.

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.
