When you have an emergency and need immediate assistance, please call 112, or make sure that someone else has called 112

Please remember

112 goes directly to the alarm centre, where you must ask for ambulance, fire brigade or police, and you must remember to state

• What has happened
• Where the accident is
• What the situation is
• Who you are and
• Where you are calling from

Do not expose yourself or others to unnecessary risks and you should try to remain calm and help others to do the same.

Keep being safe

Wherever you stay, you should inform yourself of the basic fire safety procedures on site. You should for example be aware of safe escape routes and the location of exits. At selected locations such as hotels, there must be information about how you should react to fire or sudden evacuation.
