Here in the United States when you have an emergency you call 911. There is an operator that connects your call to the right place like the fire department, police or hospital ambulance. It is convienent so you don't have to dial the full phone number. Also when you call the operator on the other end can trace the call. So if for some reason you can't talk or even hang up they know where the call came from and send someone to your address to help. Many kids get in trouble for prank calling 911 since it is so easy to find where the call came from.

As far as I know I would say 911 is a emergency service number in USA which is common to whole country and you can call that number to seek help whenever you are in some kind of trouble like, in any case you need police, para medics or fire crue and lot more...they then ask the respective department to help you out of the situation.

911 is the emergency phone number you call in the USA when you need help (police, ambulance, fire department).
