List of wordlwide rescue numbers - pls help

[tux]

why do some countries have seperate numbers for differetn services., in an emergency you shouldn't have to think which number to dial

The number you have to remember in italy is the 113, 'cause they will connect you to the service required, but if you remember the number you can also call directly who you need, for example the firemans 118.

Switzerland:

Police: 117
Emergency: 144 (they'll scramble everyone needed to rescue you)
Rega: 1414 (Helicopter rescue service)

Spain: 112

Just be surre you stay alive for 1 hour or better:

1) dont call them from 9 to 10 ( breakfast )

2) dont even call them from 2 to 4 ( Lunch & Siesta Time )

3) dont even dream to call them when "Real Madrid " is on TV

Better you bring your own Medical service with you.
