Emergency Numbers Overview

Learn the exact numbers to dial and the one crucial tip that can save minutes.

Key Emergency Numbers

Cool burns for

If someone suffers a burn, run cool water over the area for about twenty minutes before help arrives.

How to Call an Ambulance

When you dial, stay calm and start with your exact location, street, landmark, city. Then tell the operator what happened in a short sentence, and answer any follow-up questions.

When to Call vs Drive

Call an ambulance instead of driving if you see stroke signs, crushing chest pain, a seizure lasting over five minutes, or uncontrolled heavy bleeding. Professional care arrives faster and can start life-saving treatment on the way.

Seizure lasts over

A seizure that goes on for more than five minutes is a medical emergency, dial for help right away.

Stay Safe While You Wait

While waiting, avoid giving food or drink to a drowsy or badly injured person. Don't pull anyone out of a wreck unless there's fire or traffic danger. If breathing stops, start hands-only chest compressions immediately.

What Ambulances Can Do

Most ambulances will get the patient to hospital lying down, provide oxygen and basic life support. Some have trained staff and a defibrillator, while others are simple transport vans. Clear the road when you hear a siren.

The one tip to remember

The most useful habit is to save each emergency line in your phone under an easy-to-spot name like ‘AAA Ambulance’ so you can call in a panic without hunting through contacts.
