When to call 911

Ambulance crews assess and begin treatment at the scene and continue on their way to the ER. 911 calls are for critical situations including:

  • Gunshot or other violence
  • Heart attack symptoms – chest pain, pain in jaw or arm, sudden weakness, dizziness or sweating
  • Stroke symptoms – sudden numbness, slurred speech, severe headache or weakness on one side of the body or face

Utilizing an ambulance service can also be expensive and should only be used in a critical emergency.  When you call, be prepared to give location, type of emergency, description of injuries or illness and description of patient.
