How to call for an ambulance in an emergency:
1. Dial 911
2. Ask operator for an ambulance
3. Tell them your name, your location, the number you are calling from and the reason you need an ambulance.
If you are in a public place or in an accident try to give the closest intersection or landmark. If in a rural area, describe the house and any other items that may help responders find your address.
4. If the ambulance is not for you then tell the operator the name of the patient. Tell the operator any medical history that is known about the patient.
5. Above all remain calm and do what the operator tells you to do.
