Contacting Fire Services in Australia – Call 000
The country of Australia has been experiencing some problems with fires. Services are available from local fire departments. In order to contact emergency assistance with fire, please dial 000. This is a direct emergency number and will connect you with the local fire department. The answering Telstra operator can also provide you with police or medical emergency information.
Emergency services in Australia are also accessible by mobile phone (although the alternative number for some phones might be 112). If you are trying to reach someone locally and do not need an emergency assistance number, then dial the local agency for fire services in Australia. You can find listing information in the local White Pages telephone directory or from the government site, which lists contacts for emergency management in Australia.
You can also look up local information for fire services in Australia by location. South Wales, Northern Australia, Queensland, South Australia, Victoria, West Australia and Tasmania have their own contact numbers. You might also have to dial up rural fire services for large plain areas. For example, there is a separate contact department for bush fires in the Northern Territory.
If there is a fire, take quick and decisive action. Get help immediately!
