Instructions

Have a group discussion about the different emergency services and how they can be contacted.

Checklist for making an emergency call:
Try and remain calm
Dial 112 or 999. There is no charge for these calls but you should only use these numbers in an emergency
State what service you require, Fire Brigade, Ambulance or Gardaí
Provide the following:-
Your own name
The phone number you are ringing from
The address you are at
What the injury is
What happened
Don’t hang up until you are told to by the emergency services

After going through the checklist, ask the Guides to act out different role plays for each of the emergency services.

Debrief
112 is the pan European emergency number. It works the same as 999. Guides are encouraged to learn 112 so that wherever they are the emergency number is the same.
