DetroitFire: DON'T CALL EMS FOR NON-EMERGENCIES

Going to a doctor's appointment, getting a scraped knee bandaged or filling a prescription do not require professional EMS assistance. But calling EMS in non-emergencies does tie up the system and make it harder for EMS personnel to do their job-responding to serious emergencies.

Again, if you're not sure if it's an emergency, do call EMS.

Original Tweet: http://twitter.com/DetroitFire/status/187564812836941824

In response to this public service message that was broadcast via Twitter by Detroit Fire Dept. (@detroitfire), the Berkeley Hills Fire Company would like to remind the residents of Ross Township to only call 911 for emergencies. Non emergency calls tie up much needed vehicles and equipment that could be used elsewhere. For instance, if due to short staffing levels, the fire engine is handling a non emergent call, it could delay its response to a high priority event such as a fire or medical emergency. Thanks for your cooperation.
