Thread:Comments:'Completely irresponsible' woman called emergency services to report theft of snowman/999?/reply (4)

I don't understand your question, which sounds like two ways of saying the same thing to me.

I mean where there is no central number (no 999, no 911). You call, say, 12 to get fire & rescue, 13 for medical, 14 for police. Who does 112 get you? Greece operates such a system: http://www.greeklandscapes.com/travel/emergency_numbers.html

Note direct numbers for police, fire, ambulance; yet 112 is listed as "Police/Medical/Fire". Do they have a few folk redirecting calls, or does it go to the police to sort out, or.... ?

112, for those who don't know, is a central number valid accross the EU and I don't know where else.
