Have you ever found yourself in an emergency situation and somehow floated through the motions? Sometimes, it’s like we’re not even there at all. Instinct can be a wonderful thing, and the fight to survive can have us doing some pretty wild things, such as lifting cars off of children or catching someone jumping from a building.
When instincts take over, there’s really no telling what might happen and that’s one of the things that makes humans so wonderful. However, it’s not always someone else that needs rescuing. Sometimes, it’s us that needs the help.
So what happens if you find yourself needing the emergency services? Well, you can join the other 240 million people that call them a year in America. Whether it’s for the police, fire brigade, or an ambulance – there is no end to the help the emergency services can offer someone in need. However, sometimes they need our help in return. The nation is a big place, and we could be just about anywhere. Plus, there is no telling what these people in uniform could be arriving to.
Thankfully, these emergency call tips from an operator could save your life if you ever find yourself dialing 911. It might be tough to remain calm, but keeping a level head could be the difference between you making it home and saying “goodbye” to your family…

Of course, one of the first things you will be asked when you phone the emergency services is where you are – they need to know where to send help! This can be hard if you are away from home as it could be unlikely that you’ll remember the address of everywhere you go. However, it’s important to know an area just in case you need to get hold of help in an emergency. If you are in public, looking out for visible land markers, such as parks or statues, looking for the names of stores, or describing your location in detail can all help the operators work out your position.
