#MoCo Online: When Should You Call 911?

Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service Chief Richard Bowers used the Chief's Blog to communicate the situations that warrant a 911 call.

Bowers outlined six situations when residents should call 911:

• Any life-threatening situation—fights, weapons, personal-injury vehicle collisions.
• A sexual assault that is in progress or has just occurred.
• An immediate fear for your personal safety or the safety of others.
• A serious crime in progress—robbery, burglary, assault.
• Any type of fire.
• Any serious medical problem that requires an ambulance or other immediate medical response.

These tips are being shared as part of National 9-1-1 Education Month.
