9-1-1
Dispatcher's incoming call
9-1-1 is the emergency telephone number in the United States and Canada, used to reach police, fire, and medical services.
The number functions as shorthand for emergency response itself: a 9-1-1 call, dial 9-1-1.
As a modifier, it describes urgent situations requiring immediate action: a 9-1-1 text from my boss.
Also written 911.
