The 911 telephone number was implemented to provide dependable emergency service 24 hours a day seven days a week. When you call 911, an emergency dispatcher answers your call and asks you important questions like what, where, and who. They then send immediate aid to the area of incident.
You should never call 911 unless it's a true emergency, and if you do call in an emergency, you should stay on the line until the dispatcher tells you it's all right to hang up. Many times, the people who phone 911 in an emergency are so rattled that they hang up before the operator has all the information required to send the necessary help.
