What Happens When You Call 911

Oak Park firefighter Colleen Kobyleski takes a behind-the-scenes look at what happens when you call 911.

[@emmaig5354]

If you accidentally call 911, here’s what to do Step 1. DONT HANG UP!!!! They will give you a call back and if you don’t answer expect police to come your way. Step 2. Wait calmly for an operator to pick up. Step 3. Tell the operator that you didn’t mean to dial, and that you are very sorry to disrupt their emergencies, cause I accidentally did that hours ago and they said “oh ok bye”

[@geraldduncan5646]

Your instructions are absolutely correct! Especially about never to hang up!! 911 dispatchers in the county we live in typically dispatch squads to over 20 911 hang up calls during any 8hr shift, just to confirm that there in fact wasn’t any emergency. In some cases, some of those “911 hang up calls” can’t be called back due to how the cell phone use is restricted, or so I’ve been told by those who work in 911 dispatch operations.

Thank you. My sister and I saw a rollover car accident happen a few years back. I called 911 and the ambulance got there very quickly. When I heard the siren I had never felt so relieved. It only took them a few minutes, even though everything felt like it was happening really slowly.

[@stephenray8337]

Also remember there is also a non emergency number you can call if it’s not urgent. When in doubt, just call 911 as they can always transfer you if they determine it’s non emergency.

thank you

I'm sorry I accidentally on Siri I almost called 911 but I only had 5 seconds to stop it and I stopped it please I'm just a kid don't send me to jail I didn't know

[@kellenstevens6590]

N Ashley me too

[@Serasia]

I've done that before. If it happens and someone does pick up, it's best to say "I dialed wrong, sorry", so they can quickly get back to work. If you hang up fast enough then there's usually no harm done. :)

[@gehmk]

Just fun Ashley same

[@EllTheBob]

Just fun Ashley it doesn't call until after the 5 seconds. Don't worry

[@DreiKamm]
