Emergency services in Singapore

Tools:

Fire Department
Tel. 995

Police
Tel. 999

A 999 call will be answered within 10 seconds, and the police will, in urgent cases, be at the scene within 15 minutes.

Ambulance
Tel. 995

An ambulance responding to a 995 or 1777 call will usually take you to a government hospital unless otherwise advised.

Non-emergency Ambulance
Tel. 1777

The government ambulance response time is guaranteed to be under 20 minutes, although in reality the ambulance gets to the scene much more quickly than that.
