How to say it in Russian
If you ever find yourself in an emergency, being able to call emergency services is a very useful skill. Of course, only call emergency services when they're really needed. In Russia, there is a common number for emergency calls - 112. However, it will be much better to remember the direct numbers of fire, police and ambulances - this will help save valuable time. After all, it is only three simple numbers - 101, 102, 103. Read more here
The operator will ask you a number of questions. Be prepared to provide your location (streen name + building number or the nearest landmark) and what type of help you need. But, how to say something in Russian if you don't know a word of Russian? The best solution is to ask someone around to help you and talk to the operator instead of you. Well, what to do if no one is around?
