2.Tap the emergency call button and select "119 (Fire / Emergency)". (or dial "119")
3.Inform the interpreter operator of the requested location. (The fire department that connects telephone calls differs depending on the location of the request.) Be sure to tell the "Request location" first.
※"Requesting place" is the place where you want to come to a fire engine or ambulance.
4.When the interpreter operator and the fire department are connected to the phone, talk to the firefighter through the interpreter. (We will check the location and listen to the situation. Please answer calmly.)
