911 is the emergency telephone number which connects you to Ambulance, Police or Fire in an emergency situation. Calling 911 helps you reach emergency services when you require immediate assistance. In the case of a fire DO NOT use your own phone in the house. Exit the house IMMEDIATELY and either call from a cell phone or a neighbours phone.

Please give the following information to ensure a speedy response:

• Your municipal address (e.g. 1087 RTE. 605, Maple Ridge)

• Your full name

• Type of emergency

• Your phone number

• Have someone at the side of the road to help arriving Firefighters identify your house. At night waving a flashlight is an excellent idea.
