Emergency

The toll-free phone number for any emergency services-police, fire and ambulance-in the United States is 911. If you are calling from a pay phone, it should require no money. If you are calling from a hotel room, you may need to dial 9 to get an outside line: 9-911. If you are calling from a cell phone, even a non-U.S. cell phone, just dial 911 and press "SEND". No international prefixes are necessary.
