What are emergency services like in Germany?
When we asked members about emergency services in Germany, they wrote...
"Emergency services in Germany are highly efficient and reliable. In the event of an emergency, the best way to call for an ambulance is to dial 112, the national emergency number. This number is free of charge and can be dialed from any phone, including landlines and mobile phones. The operator will ask for the caller's location and the nature of the emergency, and will then dispatch the appropriate emergency services," explained one expat living in Germany.
