Please don't wait for an emergency before taking the following basic precautions:

  • Set up a speed-dial button on your fax machine for the 112 emergency number (no area code required) to stop you from dialling the wrong number and wasting time if you do have an emergency.
  • Fill out the top of several emergency services fax forms with your name and address, and keep these near your fax machine.
  • Always keep a pen next to your fax machine so that you can fill in the emergency services fax form when you need to.
  • If you have any questions concerning emergency services calls by fax, please contact the Ortenau Integrated Emergency Services Control Centre, telephone +49 (0)781 / 923 79 80, fax +49 (0)781 / 970 75 65, Email.
