Multichannel dialing system
Multi-line emergency dialing systems exist throughout the world. In Russia, this is number 112. By dialing it from your mobile phone, you can call any service to your home. The operator, having learned specific information from the caller, will switch him to a specific regional service.
Why is it convenient to call an ambulance or fire department through the number 112? Regional services sometimes do not have enough vehicles and personnel to send teams to all calls at once. Due to a lack of people and vehicles, many callers have to wait their turn in the rescue. And it happens that regional services simply hang up and it is not possible to get through even in an emergency. How to deal with such negligence and unwillingness to save? Call 112!
The fact is that regional service operators report on the work done. Periodically, to check the work, reports are compiled on how many calls the post received and how many addresses the rescue team went to. If you call 112 for an ambulance, the ambulance station will receive the call and arrive immediately, as a report will have to be made later.
