You must dial triple zero (000) in an emergency if you require the Fire Brigade, Police or Ambulance.

What happens when I dial 000?

When you dial 000 and ask for fire, the operator will ask you:

Where is your emergency?

What is the location of the fire?
(The street name and number and suburb? The nearest intersection?)

What is the type of incident?
(Building fire, home fire, bush fire, car fire etc.)

How many people are involved?
(For example are there people in the house or car?)

Is other assistance required?
(If there are people involved you may require an ambulance also, or if it is a road accident with a car on fire you may also require an ambulance and police.)

What's your name, address and telephone number?
(Contact details in case there is a need to follow up with you later.)

Also, if there has already been a report of that incident made you will be advised and you may not need to provide as many details.
