911
Dispatcher's phone line
911 is the emergency telephone number in the United States and Canada, connecting callers to police, fire, and medical services.
It functions as shorthand for emergency response generally: Someone call 911, a 911 dispatcher.
The number doubles as a noun or modifier for urgent situations: It's a 911 situation.
September 11, 2001—often written 9/11—refers to the terrorist attacks on that date.
