Calling 911 During Cold, Flu, and Virus Season

If you dial 911 for help due to respiratory (breathing) difficulty or flu-like illness, you or a family member is asked to communicate as much detailed information as possible about your situation to the dispatch operator. Any responders that will be coming to help you would like to know in advance of critical information to help us assist you and to take necessary precautions that could help us protect ourselves in your service. Thank you.
