An emergency number is a phone number that may be used to dial a local emergency call center for official emergency situation assistance. Emergency numbers are often only a few digits in order for them to be easy to remember.
In Norway the emergency numbers are responded by:
110 – The Fire Department
112 – The Police’s call center dispatch
113 – Medical Emergency
These are the steps you follow in case of fire emergency or serious accidents
· Be sure to alert other occupants in the house.
· Notify the fire department by dialing 110.
· Attempt to extinguish the fire only when this does not put your life or health at risk.
· Advise the fire department of the situation when they arrive; make sure to notify authorities of individuals still in the building.
Designate one person to be in charge of the accident scene.
Dial 113 for assistance.

Provide basic life support.
In case of criminal activity where lives are at risk, evidence may be lost or for other immediate emergencies, dial 112 for the Police’s emergency call center
