Root Cause

Norway does not use 911, and 112 is specifically the police number here. Dial 110 for fire, 112 for police, and 113 for ambulance/medical. All are free from any phone.

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Dial 911 in Norway expecting to reach emergency services 95% fail

    911 is not the emergency number in Norway. Fire is 110, police is 112, and ambulance is 113. A 911 call does not connect to local police, fire, or ambulance.

  2. Assume 112 is for medical emergencies as in the EU single-number model 45% fail

    In Norway 112 is the police number; medical emergencies go to 113 and fire to 110. Calling 112 for a medical case delays the ambulance.
