## Root Cause

Argentina uses 911 for police in most provinces (including Buenos Aires), but there is no single number for everything: ambulance is 107 (SAME) and fire is 100. Numbers can vary slightly by province.

## Workarounds

1. **Dial 911 for police (most provinces), 107 for ambulance (SAME), and 100 for fire.** (90% success)
   ```
   Police: 911 (e.g., Buenos Aires). Ambulance: 107. Fire: 100. Confirm local numbers when changing province.
   ```
2. **When travelling between provinces, confirm the local police/ambulance numbers, as they can differ.** (82% success)
   ```
   Check the provincial government site for local emergency numbers outside Buenos Aires.
   ```

## Dead Ends

- **Assume one number (911) covers police, ambulance, and fire across all of Argentina** — 911 reaches police in most provinces, but medical emergencies are 107 (SAME) and fire is 100. Coverage and numbers vary by province. (50% fail)
- **Dial 911 for an ambulance expecting medical dispatch** — 911 is police-focused in most provinces; for a medical emergency call 107 (SAME) directly to avoid a transfer. (45% fail)
