Contacting the emergency services

If you see an emergency, you should dial 999 and you ask to be connected to either the police, fire and rescue service, ambulance service or the coastguard. This number should only be used for emergencies if there is a threat to life or property or a crime is in progress.

If you need to contact any of these organisations and it is not an emergency, you can visit their websites to see if you can find an answer to your questions or call their office numbers.
