When to Call 911

Call 9-1-1 during an emergency or any situation that requires immediate assistance from law enforcement personnel (police or sheriff), the Fire Department, or EMS (ambulance). If in doubt whether a situation is an emergency, call 9-1-1.

A few examples of emergencies are:

  • Any known serious medical or possibly serious medical problem

  • Any time someone is trapped or hurt in any kind of farming, industrial and even home-related accident
  • Road hazards, drunk or careless / aggressive drivers
