Photo of a sign that reads "If you see someone drowning" on top, and "call 9-1-1" on the bottom, with a stick figure with its arms raised, over some wavy lines, resembling a drowning person, but the way the stick figure is drawn resembles the word "lol" in lowercase

In my country 911 is for emergencies that require police attention, like armed robberies, etc.

Don't dare call 911 for a medical emergency or they quite plainly tell you to fuck off and call either the public healthcare phone number (which is a short (and toll-free) but completely different number), or your private provider (which is a normal phone number)

Good luck calling the fire department
