The 9-1-1 emergency dispatch system is designed to save valuable seconds. When you dial 9-1-1, the system identifies the police or fire unit closest to your location and dispatches that unit. Fire stations are not equipped with the emergency dispatch system, therefore calling the station directly wastes valuable response time.
