Things to know when calling 911

​- The 911 center will have questions for you. This is a simple screening to establish if there has been any exposure to the COVID-19 Virus. This is for the safety of our first responders so that we can take additional precautions! Your care will NOT be compromised! 

​- Only call for a true emergency! A great resource for when to call is www.911.gov  or you can also visit https://www.nena.org/page/911TipsGuidelines. 

- We will respond as quickly as we are able. Rest assured we are moving as fast as we can, without endangering ourselves or others. 

- If you are not sure if you need the Fire Department, Police, or EMS, call 911, and remain calm! Carefully explain your situation, stay on the line, and very carefully follow the directions of the 911 dispatcher. They are well trained individuals that can help you.
