My father-in-law died of a heart attack, and I was only able to contact the rescue service from the neighboring city through time-consuming telephone searches. Unfortunately, too late, so he died agonizingly. Now the question arises. What is on the highway if I want to contact the rescue service with my mobile phone? Is the network in which I am responsible for this emergency? Or is it like on the landline that I want to wash off The following happened to me in the fixed network: Quote Tread: Quote: My wife did not know the emergency number in panic when my father-in-law’s heart attack (unfortunately passed away at the time). In panic she called me in the office (neighbouring town). I, automatically 112!. Unfortunately with moderate success. Response of the emergency control center: the emergency is in Dortmund? You are here in Essen. There must be an emergency. They already call right there!! So, call at the information, and quickly get a phone number of the fire department in Dortmund. Call at the fire department Dortmund. Doorman instructs me. If you need the rescue service, you have to choose the 112! After for me infinitely long lasting explanations (I in Essen, emergency in Dortmund), have finally put me through to the rescue department. Result. When I arrived, the police was on site, and waited for the Kripo for the death trap ung. Die in Germany Accident victims, because there is no competent rescue center!???? Greetings, Günther.
