Emergency FAQs

If I need help, should I call the fire department directly?
	If you have an emergency, you should not call the fire department directly. To receive help as quickly as possible, call 911.
What should I do if I'm not sure whether or not I need help?
	In any situation where you may be unsure about calling 911, we suggest that you play it safe and call 911. For any situation, we are more than willing to help you in any way possible.
If I call 911 for a medical emergency, will I be charged?
	The only time you will be charged for a Medical Emergency is if we transport you to a care facility. We do not charge for medical evaluations.
Do I have to go to the hospital if I dial 911?
	No, it is not necessarily the case that you will be transported to a care facility if we respond to a medical call. If we deem a patient stable without having to go to the hospital, we can issue a refusal. There is no cost for a medical call resulting in a refusal.
Can I request response without lights and sirens to an incident?
	While we do take in to account requests for non-emergent response, we must also consider the possible seriousness of the incident. Often, we will respond emergent to a call only to make it through traffic, and then continue on non-emergent once we get close to the incident.
