No Matter where you are, an emergency situation is never a cool thing to pass by. Thankfully, Germany has a great emergency service system you can rely on anytime.
112 & 110
These are the two emergency numbers you need to remember always. Just like many European countries, dial in 112 if you want to connect to the Fire Brigade and Ambulance services.
Remember, 112 is the Single European union emergency number. You can dial this number anywhere within the European Union if you are in a medical emergency and need an ambulance or fire brigade.
