'110' to be unified emergency number in Beijing


GOV.cn Tuesday, January 10, 2006

In emergencies that leave your head spinning, can you remember that 110 is for police, 119 for fire and 122 for road accidents?

If your answer is not a confident "yes," there's good news you have to dial only 110 for any emergency in Beijing from the second half of the year, the city's public security bureau announced yesterday.

Police officers, firefighters or traffic police will be despatched once the headquarters receives a 110 call. But 119 and 122 will remain in use and residents are encouraged to continue using the numbers to ease the pressure on 110 operators, said Ji Kaixuan, director of Beijing's 110 Emergency Centre.
